Can my agency own an Instagram farm outright instead of renting it?
Yes. TIDE is offered two ways: hosted, where TIDE owns and runs the hardware, or licensed in-house, where the system runs on the agency's own phones with installation, training and support included.

Most infrastructure in this category is rental only, which means you never stop paying and you never own anything.
We build it for you
TIDE sources, racks and hosts the iPhones. Nothing ships to your office, nothing to install, nothing to maintain. You run it from one dashboard. Fastest way in.
You own it in-house
The same system that runs our fleets, licensed for your agency and installed on phones in your own office. We specify the hardware, set it up with your team, train them, and keep shipping updates to your fleet. You control the devices.
The software is identical either way. The difference is who holds the hardware and who carries the operational load.
We are working with ten agencies, no more. Read the offer.
Let us build your fleet.
Tell us how many creators you run and how you get traffic today. We will show you the system running on a real fleet and tell you honestly which setup fits, or whether it fits at all. Every build is scoped and quoted around your agency.
