Short answer: It depends which view you mean. Reel views cost ₹17 per 1,000, so 100 of them come to about ₹2. Story views cost ₹420 per 1,000, so 100 of those come to ₹42 — roughly twenty-five times more, because a story is gone in 24 hours and that number sits in front of a much smaller crowd. Profile visits and watch time are a third thing again: they are not sold here at any price. Work out which of the two you actually meant and the price question answers itself.
“View” is two products, so there are two prices
You typed one question, but Instagram uses the same word for two different meters. There is the play count that sits under a reel, and there is the list of names at the bottom of a story. On a price list those are separate services, bought separately, at prices that are nowhere near each other.
Reel views are ₹17 per 1,000. Story views are ₹420 per 1,000. Both start at a minimum of 100. So the honest answer to “what is the Instagram view price” is that there is no single figure — there is a cheap one and an expensive one, and which applies depends entirely on where on your screen you want the number to move.
That gap is not small. A hundred story views cost ₹42. For that same ₹42 you could take 2,000 reel views and still have change left, because 2,000 reel views come to ₹34. Same word on the label, wildly different bills.
Most people who search this phrase mean the first one. If you are thinking about the play counter under a reel you posted, the number you came here for is ₹17 per 1,000, and you can stop reading after the next section. The rest of this page is for everyone whose question was not quite that.
Reel views: ₹17 per 1,000
The rate is flat. ₹17 buys 1,000 reel views, and every other quantity comes out of that one line. Divide your quantity by 1,000, multiply by 17, round to the nearest rupee. That is the entire calculation and there is no second table hiding behind it.
Run the common sizes and you get: 100 views for about ₹2, 500 for ₹9, 1,000 for ₹17, 2,000 for ₹34, 5,000 for ₹85, 10,000 for ₹170, and 25,000 for ₹425. Buying more does not make each view cheaper — the rate is the same at the bottom and the top, so there is no bulk slab (a price band that switches on once your order is big enough) to chase.
The floor is 100 views, which prices out at ₹1.70 and is charged as ₹2. That is genuinely the smallest order the panel will take on this service. Nothing sold on this site costs less. Reel shares happen to sit at the same ₹17 per 1,000, and everything else — likes, saves, followers, reposts — costs more.
One point worth saying plainly before you plan a spend: this rate is per order, not per month. You pay once, the views land, and that transaction is finished. There is no plan, no auto-renewal, and nothing sitting on your card waiting for next month.
Story views: ₹420 per 1,000, and why that is so far above ₹17
Story views are priced at ₹420 per 1,000, with the same 100 minimum. So 100 story views cost ₹42, 250 cost ₹105, 500 cost ₹210, 1,000 cost ₹420, and 2,000 cost ₹840. Divide by 1,000 and multiply by 420 for anything in between.
Two things sit behind the price. A story expires after 24 hours, so the whole order has to be filled against a hard deadline while the story is still alive — there is no second day to catch up on. And a story goes out mainly to people already connected to your account, so that viewer number is showing itself to a far smaller crowd than a reel does.
A reel has neither problem. It stays on your profile indefinitely and it can be shown to anybody, so there is no clock and no ceiling. That difference in the product, not a markup someone decided on, is what puts ₹420 and ₹17 so far apart.
Practically, this means story views are the more serious purchase of the two, and they repeat. A story you post tomorrow is a brand new order at the same rate. Budget for that before you start, because the bill is per story, not per week.
The same two prices, counted one view at a time
Some people find per-1,000 rates hard to feel, so here are both in paise. A hundred paise make one rupee. One reel view works out at 1.7 paise. One story view works out at 42 paise.
Put those side by side and the ratio is clear: 420 divided by 17 is 24.7, so a story view costs a shade under twenty-five reel views. That is the single most useful number on this page, because it tells you what you are really choosing between when you type “views” into a search box.
Be a little careful with the small number, though. At 1.7 paise a view, reel views feel close to free, and “close to free” is exactly the kind of pricing that makes people order far more than their profile needs. Neither service lets you buy a single view anyway — 100 is the floor on both, and the per-view figure is only there to help you compare.
Which of the two did your question actually mean?
The quickest way to settle it is to picture where you want the number to change. If it is the counter sitting under a video on your profile grid, next to the little play symbol, you mean reel views — ₹17 per 1,000. If it is the small figure in the bottom-left corner of a story you posted, the one you swipe up on to see who watched, you mean story views — ₹420 per 1,000.
A second test is permanence. Ask whether the thing you posted will still be there next week. If yes, it is a reel and you are on the cheap rate. If it disappears tomorrow, it is a story and you are on the expensive one. There is no in-between case; the post is either permanent or it is not.
In practice, the people who genuinely want story views are running something time-bound. A shop announcing today’s stock. Someone posting a poll or a question sticker and wanting the viewer list to look busy before real people arrive. Someone whose whole activity on Instagram is daily stories rather than posts. If that is not you, it is almost certainly reel views you were pricing.
And if you meant neither — if what you actually want is for more people to find you — then no view price is the answer to your question, and the next section explains why.

What is not for sale: profile visits, reach and watch time
Open Instagram Insights (the built-in stats screen on a professional account) and you will see several numbers that look buyable but are not. Profile visits, accounts reached, watch time and average watch time are not on the menu here at any price. There is no rate for them because the service does not exist on this site.
The full list of what can be bought is short: followers, likes, reel views, story views, saves, shares and reposts. Seven things. If a number you are staring at is not one of those seven, no amount of money on this panel will move it, and you should be wary of anyone who says otherwise.
This matters more than it sounds, because plenty of people arrive at “instagram view price” hoping to fix the reach line in Insights. Buying reel views will not do it. The play counter goes up; reach, profile visits and watch time do not follow it. They are separate measurements and they are not connected to the order you place.
It is worth being blunt about the reverse case too. If your real problem is that nobody is discovering your account, then the honest answer is that there is nothing on this price list that solves it. A view order changes a display number. It does not change distribution, and pretending it does would be selling you the wrong thing.
The one limit that applies to both prices
Whichever of the two you buy, you are buying a count and nothing behind it. The accounts that make up that count are real accounts, but they are not an audience. They will not comment, will not reply to your story, will not message you and will not buy anything from you. If you expect a bought view number to turn into conversations, it will not.
Some slippage is normal, and it is fair to know that before you pay. The 30-day refill guarantee on this site covers followers orders. Do not assume it stretches to a view order — it does not, and nobody should tell you otherwise.
Buying engagement of any kind is against Instagram’s terms of service. It is legal in India, and this is an ordinary online purchase paid by UPI or card, but the platform’s own rules do not permit it and nobody can promise Instagram is unable to tell. Anyone claiming otherwise is guessing on your behalf.
Last, and least comfortable: neither price fixes weak content. If people swipe past your reel in the first second, a bought play count does not change what happened in that second. What the money genuinely buys is a first impression — a visitor deciding in two seconds whether a profile looks worth their time. That is the whole honest use, and it is smaller than most panels admit.
Minimums, and the smallest order you can place of each
Both services stop at the same quantity floor: 100. You cannot order 50 reel views or 20 story views. What differs is what that floor costs you — ₹2 for 100 reel views, ₹42 for 100 story views.
For context against the rest of the list: likes also start at 100, for ₹8. Followers and saves start at 50, for ₹38 and ₹21. Reposts start at just 10, for ₹8. So reel views hold the cheapest entry point of anything sold here, tied with shares at ₹2.
That ₹2 floor has one genuinely useful job, and it is not the views. It is the cheapest possible way to find out whether this panel behaves the way this page says it does — whether the order goes through, whether delivery starts, whether the count moves. Two rupees is less than a packet of biscuits, and you learn everything you need before committing anything larger.
Payment runs through Razorpay, so UPI, Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, debit card, credit card and NetBanking all work. Razorpay is PCI-DSS certified (the card industry’s security standard) and card numbers never reach this site.
What happens once you have picked a price
The order itself asks for very little. You give the public Instagram username the order is for, and you pay. There is no signup, no Instagram password, no login, no OTP from Instagram and no app to install. If any site asks you for your Instagram password to deliver views, that is a reason to close the tab.
Delivery starts within minutes and is drip-fed — spread out over a stretch of hours rather than dumped in one lump — and finishes somewhere inside 0–24 hours. For story views that window matters, because the story itself expires at the 24-hour mark, so a story posted late in its life has less runway.
One hard blocker: a private account cannot receive anything. If the profile is locked, nothing arrives and nothing can arrive. Switch it to public before ordering, not after.
So the decision comes down to one line. Reel views: ₹17 per 1,000, ₹2 to start. Story views: ₹420 per 1,000, ₹42 to start. If neither of those is the number you were trying to move, check the full price list before spending anything, and write to support@instaboostpanel.com if you are still not sure which service matches what you are looking at.
