General
What is ProfileOnRent?
An introduction service with two sides. People who own aged social accounts tell us about them and set a monthly rate. Companies that need those accounts for outreach, ads or community work tell us what they are after. We check both sides, introduce them, put the terms in writing, invoice, and stay involved for the length of the rental. There is no platform to sign up to and no public directory of accounts — every arrangement is set up by a person over email.
Which platforms do you cover?
LinkedIn, Meta (Facebook profiles, Pages, Business Manager and ad accounts), Instagram, TikTok (creator and ad accounts), X (Twitter) and Reddit.
How do you make money?
We take a commission on each rental. Owners see the exact payout before they agree, and renters see the exact price before they pay. There are no listing fees and no charge for submitting an inquiry.
Do you sell accounts outright?
No. Rental only. Selling an account transfers a real person's identity to a stranger permanently, which is a different business with different problems. We stay out of it.
What do you refuse to work with?
Anything impersonating a real business or person the renter has no connection to, financial and crypto scams, adult content, political influence campaigns, and any use aimed at harassing a specific person. We ask about intended use in the inquiry form and we do turn work away.
Renting an account
How fast can I get accounts after I submit an inquiry?
If we already have matching profiles listed, one to three working days. If your requirements are narrow — a specific country, a specific industry, a particular follower band — expect five to ten days while we source and verify. We tell you which situation you are in when we reply, we do not leave you guessing.
What happens if an account gets restricted mid-rental?
We replace it with an equivalent account at no extra cost, matched on age, audience size and region. That holds for as long as the rental runs, with no time limit and no cap on how many times it can happen. If we cannot find you a match, you can take a refund of the unused time instead. This covers restrictions that happen during normal use. It does not cover accounts that get banned because a renter ran an aggressive script or posted something against platform policy.
How do I actually access the account?
For most platforms you get an antidetect browser profile with the session, the cookies and a residential proxy fixed to the account country. You log in through that profile and the platform sees a consistent device and location. For ad accounts on Meta and TikTok you usually get partner or advertiser access instead, so your own payment method stays on your side.
Can I use my own automation tool?
Yes. Teams run our LinkedIn accounts through Expandi, HeyReach, Dripify, Lemlist, Prosp and Phantombuster. Keep the sending limits conservative for the first two weeks. We send suggested daily caps per account with every handover.
Are these real people or made-up profiles?
Real people. Every account belongs to a person who submitted it themselves and passed our checks. We decline profiles with stock photos, invented work history and purchased followers, because those are the accounts that get banned in week two and make everyone look bad.
What is the minimum term and can I cancel?
One month minimum, then it rolls month to month. You get 15 days from the day access is handed over to stop for any reason at all and have everything you paid refunded in full, no explanation required. After that, cancel with 14 days notice before the next invoice. Longer commitments get better per-account pricing, which you can see on the pricing page.
Which countries can you source accounts from?
The largest pools are the US, UK, India, Australia, UAE, Canada, Germany and the Netherlands. We have listings across more than 45 countries and can source into new markets on request, which usually adds a week or two.
Is renting an account against the platform terms of service?
Sharing account access sits outside what most platforms permit in their terms, and that is worth knowing before you start. Accounts can be restricted. We reduce the risk with aged profiles, region-matched IPs and conservative sending limits, and we cover you with the replacement policy, but nobody can promise a platform will never act. If your business cannot tolerate that risk, we will say so rather than sell you something.
Listing an account
How much can I earn?
Between $40 and $1,200 a month per account, depending on the platform, the audience size and how commercial your niche is. A three-year-old LinkedIn profile with 800 connections usually lands between $90 and $180 a month. You name the rate you want in the form and we tell you honestly whether it is realistic.
Do I have to give away my password?
You share access, not ownership. Most rentals run through an antidetect browser session, so you hand over access once at the start and you can revoke it at any point. You keep recovery email and phone control the whole way through, which means you can lock the account down in under a minute if you ever want to.
Can I take my account back?
Yes, with 14 days notice at any point. If something feels wrong you can stop it immediately and we handle it with the renter. You keep the payout for the days already used.
Who decides what gets posted on my profile?
You do. You set the content rules when you list the account — banned topics, banned industries, whether anything can be posted publicly at all. Plenty of owners allow direct messages only and no public posts. Those rules go into the rental agreement and a renter who breaks them loses access.
How and when do I get paid?
First payment 30 days after the rental starts, then on the same date every month. Bank transfer, Wise, Payoneer or USDT depending on your country. We pay in more than 45 countries including the US, UK, India, Australia, UAE and across the EU. If a renter uses their 15-day right to stop, you are still paid pro rata for the days your account was actually in use.
What happens if my account gets restricted while it is rented?
We stop the rental, help with the appeal where an appeal is possible, and you keep the payment for that period. Renters agree to sending limits designed to avoid this, and a renter who ignores them covers the rest of your term and we do not work with them again.
Will my employer or my connections find out?
Nothing about the rental is public and we never publish your name, your handle or your photo. Listings shown to renters are anonymised until you approve them. That said, if you allow public posting, your connections will see those posts, which is exactly why the content rules matter.
What gets a listing rejected?
Bought followers, a profile that was created recently to be rented, a stock photo instead of a real one, active restrictions, or a shadowban. Roughly one in three submissions gets declined. We would rather tell you now than take your account and have it banned in three weeks.
