We have been losing accounts since 2020 so that you don’t have to.
PhoneCloudify started as an internal tool. Two of our founders ran a 400-handset Snapchat farm in Shenzhen and kept getting wiped out. So they built the thing that stopped it.
History
Six years, one obsession
Founded in Shenzhen
Two founders running a 400-handset Snapchat farm build the tool that stops it dying. Twelve ARM dev boards in a rack.
First customers
Hardware-bound identities ship. 140 paying customers by December, all by word of mouth.
API and automation
Public API and the first RPA builder. Company incorporated in Hong Kong. 2,900 customers.
Sensors, then hardware
The motion-trace engine takes Instagram survival past 90%. The A1 handset ships in November.
Bare metal and carrier IPs
Full migration to dedicated silicon, then mobile IPs bundled into the plan. Snapchat survival hits 89%.
Ban Shield
The detection-tracking pipeline becomes a product with a published SLA. Also our worst incident, in November.
97% on Snapchat
Node X, PhoneCloudifyOS 5, Android 16 beta, 187 countries. 41,800 customers and 61 people across three offices.
Principles
How we operate
Publish the numbers, including the bad ones
Our ban rates are on the site and updated weekly. So is the November 2025 incident that cost us $91,000 and 1,847 customer accounts.
Engineers answer support
There is no tier-one queue. The person replying on Telegram has commit access, or has run a farm, or both.
Never resell an identity
Every IMEI, IMSI and Android ID we generate is checked against an exclusion list of 2.9 million previously issued values. Recycling identities is how competitors burn whole customer cohorts at once.
We enforce the AUP
Around 340 accounts were terminated in 2025 for fraud, impersonation or worse. We would rather lose the revenue than the platform relationships that make the product work.
