Want to run your own SMM panel but not sure where to start? Well, it all begins with the right script.
Just like a restaurant needs a solid kitchen setup to serve food fast, your SMM panel needs an authentic script to handle orders and payments smoothly.
Unfortunately, the market is flooded with low-quality SMM panel scripts. Most of them are full of bugs and pricey. And some just look… outdated. Only a few genuine options are out there.
That’s why I’ve done all the research to bring them out. Check out the 7 best SMM panel scripts you can actually afford (ones that are cheap, safe, and come with the right features to help you grow).
1.Perfect Panel
Foundation Year: 2013
Pricing: Starts at $50
Let me tell you why Perfect Panel caught my attention from the get-go. When I first stumbled upon this script, I was honestly doubtful. But after testing it myself, I can say it’s earned its spot as our number one pick for its user-friendly interface and powerful features.
Perfect Panel claims itself as “the best all-in-one solution for reselling or providing SMM services,” and frankly, it’s not so exaggerated. The script is an all-around solution for processing and automating social media marketing services. It includes standout features like refill check, user notifications, and time zone setup.
Pricing
Perfect Panel works through a tiered monthly cost model, where you are charged based on the number of orders executed:
| PLAN NAME | MONTHLY ORDERS | PRICE |
| Plan A | 0-1000 | $50 |
| Plan B | 1001-5000 | $75 |
| Plan C | 5001-15000 | $100 |
| Plan D | 15001-50000 | $150 |
| Plan E | 50001-100000 | $200 |
Payment Gateways
Perfect Panel supports over 150 payment gateways to offer flexibility to its international user base. Some of the prominent integrated methods are:
- PayPal
- Stripe
- Paytm
- Razorpay
- Coinbase
- Perfect Money
- Payeer
- Instamojo
- Flutterwave
- UPI Gateways
- YouCanPay
Main Features
- Visual Editor
You can customize the look and feel of your panel. Two different themes are available in the admin interface for better personalization. You can also add your brand logo and favicon for branding.
- Auto Refill System
Almost all panels promise refills. But what makes Perfect Panel unique is its auto-refill system. The system can automatically identify when a user experiences a drop (a decrease in followers or likes). Soon, it initiates a refill. No manual intervention is needed.
Even if the original service provider doesn’t offer a refill option, Perfect Panel allows administrators to activate a manual refill feature. That’s really an important feature for SMM panels that value customer satisfaction.
- Child Panel
It offers a child panel feature for you to offer sub-panels to your clients. Each could be branded and managed independently, but connected to your main panel. This setup is perfect for businesses looking to expand their services by providing customized panels to their customers without the need for separate infrastructures.
- Drip-Feed
You can set the panel to distribute the orders over a specified period to mimic organic growth patterns. For instance, instead of delivering 1,000 likes instantly, the system can be configured to deliver 100 likes per hour over 10 hours. This gradual delivery approach is crucial to avoid social media algorithm suspicions.
5. User Management
The User Management feature in the Perfect Panel admin system gives you full control over individual user accounts. From a single interface, you can easily edit user details, reset passwords, and copy rate settings for consistent pricing across users. It also offers transparency tools like sign-in history and the ability to identify users with matching IPs, helping you spot suspicious activity. For rule enforcement or moderation, you can suspend user accounts with a click. All of this makes managing your user base efficient and secure.
6. Order Management
The Order Management section is designed to give admins complete oversight and control over every order placed through the panel. You can view detailed order information, including current status and user data, and make quick adjustments as needed. With options to set the start count, mark an order as partially completed, or cancel and refund orders, managing service delivery becomes hassle-free. Additionally, you can sync updates directly from the provider, ensuring all statuses are accurate and up-to-date without manual effort.
7. Service Management
The Service Management feature allows you to easily add and configure services tailored to your panel’s needs. You can assign each service to a specific category, choose between manual or automatic mode, and link it to a preferred provider. Pricing is flexible with options to set the rate per 1000 units, along with minimum and maximum order limits. Advanced controls like denying duplicate links, increment settings, overflow handling, and start count parsing give you precision in how services behave.
8. Payment Dashboard
The Payments Dashboard offers a clear and organized view of all user transactions on the panel. It displays essential details like user name, current balance, transaction amount, payment method, and status, making it easy to track and verify payments. You can also view fraud risk indicators, admin memos, and timestamps for when a payment was created or updated.
9. Ticket Dashboard
The Ticket Dashboard gives a quick snapshot of all support requests. It shows the user ID, ticket subject, current status, assigned staff, and timestamps for creation and last update. That makes it simple to track and manage user issues in real-time.
10. Report Tracking
The Report section lets you monitor your panel’s performance at a glance. You can view detailed reports on payments (revenue), orders, support tickets, services, and user activity both as chart and table, to make data-driven decisions.
Missing Features
- No Chatbot
Sure, the platform has a ticketing support system to solve all customer concerns. But the problem with these ticketing systems is that they keep users waiting for hours or even days. Most times, a simple AI chatbot is all we need to get through. That’s simply missing here!
- No Blogging
I’m someone who believes in driving traffic organically, too, but Perfect Panel doesn’t give you any space or setup for a blog. And I haven’t yet seen an option to change SEO settings like meta titles, keywords, or schema support.
Yes, you can customize the panel homepage. But it’s not the same as having a proper SEO-optimized front-end. If you’re planning to rank on Google, you’ll probably need a separate site just for content and SEO.
2. Smart Panel
Foundation Year: 2019
Price: $39
It is a sleek PHP script that empowers you to launch an SMM panel with a one-time purchase. I have used many scripts, and Smart Panel was impressive for being an all-in-one setup—orders, payments, support, even blogging—all wrapped into one codebase.
The best part about Smart Panel is its affordability. I would say it’s the least-priced, versatile SMM script I’ve ever come across. All it takes is a one-time fee of $39 for the regular license (6 months support), with an optional extended license at +$12.75 to extend support to 12 months
No recurring fees!
Payment Options
Smart Panel offers over 7 payment methods to users:
- Paypal
- Stripe
- 2Checkout
- Paytm Auto
- PayUmoney
- Coinbase
- Manual Payment Methods
Main Features
- Mass Orders
Tired of handling too many orders? Smart Panel offers you a feature that lets you upload multiple hundreds of orders in batches at one time with an easy format (service_id|link|quantity). This batching was really a time-saver for me.
- Multi-API Integration
Smart Panel stands out with its capacity to connect to multiple SMM providers simultaneously. I set it to auto-pull new services through API and one-click sync pricing. Thus, inventory and prices remain up to date without manual adjustment.
- Support System
Your users receive an internal ticketing system with timestamps and email alerts. You can also add FAQ pages to prevent repeated questions, which is yet another time plus energy saver for customer care teams.
- Blogging and SEO Tools
Luckily, Smart Panel comes with built-in blogging with meta tags, categories, featured images, etc. As a beginner with zero ad budget, this feature was really helpful for me to gain that initial traction.
Missing Features
- No Built-In Affiliate System
I was surprised there’s no referral dashboard or commission tracking included. You’ll need extra steps or integrations if you want users to earn by referring others (one of the best ways to make money with SMM panels).
- No Auto-Refill
Some community-modified versions add auto-refill and child panels, but the official Smart Panel lacks native support. I’d have loved the built-in refill trigger, as drops are a real headache for many panel managers.
- No Multi-Currency Auto-Converter
Even though Stripe and PayPal can handle major currencies, there’s no built-in converter to showcase prices in local currency. You’re on your own if targeting global users.
3. SocPanel
Founding Year: 2019
Price: 5% commission
As I went through SocPanel for the first time, I was impressed with its claim of setting up an SMM panel in five minutes without coding. It’s a cloud-based system that suits both novices and professional resellers alike, with a simple interface.
The platform supports more than 20 languages, which is a major plus when reaching a global audience. Plus, SocPanel’s focus on scalability and automation makes it a strong option for those who dream big about growing their SMM business.
The pricing system is also a big positive. You need not pay anything to set up your panel. All you need to pay is a 5% commission on every order. That means it’s a completely risk-free approach, where we can get started with a zero budget.
Payment Methods
You can choose to pay from over 200 different payment methods like:
- PayTM
- USDT
- Stripe
- UPI
- Perfect Money
- Payeer
Main Features
- Promo Code system
On top of free panel creation, SocPanel also gives you the opportunity to promote your panel for free through a promo code feature. It allows for the generation of promo codes to bring in new users or keep existing loyal users. You can make use of it to encourage more purchases.
- Child Panel Functionality
The Child Panel features let us create and sell sub-panels to clients. That’s why I have said that SocPanel is a promising option for those who have strong plans for scaling up their SMM panel business.
- Active Updates
Let’s accept it. One-time pricing models are a bit risky. Even though they may guarantee the updates for 6 months or so, they need not necessarily do so until a serious issue arises. Unlike this, SocPanel works through a commission-based model, where they get paid only if we, the resellers, make sales.
That means they are indeed committed to providing us with the latest, cutting-edge features to stay updated and attract more customers. In short, you can expect more updates from their side.
Missing Features
- No Affiliate System
Promo codes are a big sales feature. But we need a proper affiliate system to attract outsiders. Unfortunately, that common SMM panel feature is missing here.
- No Auto-Refill Feature
SocPanel does not have an Auto-Refill function. When a service is subject to drops (e.g., followers or likes), I must handle refills manually, which can be labor-intensive and could impact customer satisfaction.
- Limited Customization
Though SocPanel has an intuitive interface, the ability to customize is limited. I struggled to apply distinctive branding features or heavily adjust the panel layout.
4. Child Panel
Child panel is not a script you buy, but rather a business model that’s often misunderstood by newcomers in the industry. Basically, it’s a mini SMM panel, linked through API to a parent (provider) panel.
All it costs is just $25-$30 per month. And in return, you get a branded storefront without handling backend operations.
It’s an easy way to resell SMM services for those who don’t want to get behind the technical aspects. But you don’t have complete ownership. The provider does all the heavy lifting like order processing, replenishment logic, service updates and so on. Branding and customer relations are your main responsibilities.
Most child panels support a minimum of 5–10 popular gateways (PayPal, UPI, crypto, etc.), as part of their primary panel integration.
Notable Features
- Full API Bridging from Parent Panel
A Child Panel reflects the parent panel’s catalog via API, which imports live service data, including prices, descriptions, and estimated delivery times, automatically, without manual import. As soon as the provider makes a change to a service, your panel shows it immediately. This keeps your storefront up-to-date without your having to manage or sync databases manually.
- Customization And Branding
You can upload your own logo, implement custom CSS, and even host the panel on your own domain. All these make your version look fully independent to clients to trust and professionalism. Nobody will know that you’re working under someone else’s backend.
- Built-In Refill Management
Your panel inherits refill rules and subscription plans from the provider. If they support 7-day refills, your panel reflects that as well and according to their pre-defined logic. That consistency is really great. But the catch is that you can’t change the rules. All you could do is simply toggle on or off what’s available through admin switches.
Missing Features
- No Control Over Service Providers
Your panel is stuck to the provider’s API. It can’t add or delete service sources on its own. If they drop a provider or a service is down, your storefront loses it as well. You are completely reliant on their uptime and API stability. There is no fallback or diversification option of your own.
- Limited Control Over Pricing
Your own pricing tiers are typically defined by the parent panel. Occasionally, you might be able to put on a margin. But you cannot design bundles or custom service flows like drip-feed scheduling unless the parent panel allows it and makes it visible to you.
- Cannot Create Your Own Child Panels
Child Panels don’t permit you to sub-lease panels again. This limits your scaling as a reseller, unless you have your own backend or partner provider program.
5. SMM Matrix
Foundation Year: 2021
Pricing: From $1.97
Developed by Bug-Finder, SMM Matrix offers a suite of features to manage SMM service delivery across multiple social media platforms. After thoroughly testing this script for several weeks, I can honestly say it lives up to much of its hype.
What really caught my attention about SMM Matrix is its Progressive Web App (PWA) capability. It’s built with modern web standards that make it feel like a native app when installed on mobile devices.
The pricing for SMM Matrix varies across different platforms:
- GPL Plugins offers it at $1.97.
- Boost Like lists it for $37.99.
- Smmpanelstore.co provides it at a discounted price of approximately $24.50.
All these are one-time fees. Future updates depend on the platform from which you purchase.
Payment Methods
SMM Matrix supports over 40 global payment methods, including:
- RazorPay
- Cryptocurrency
- Payeer
- Payoneer
- Perfect Money
- Credit Card
- PayPal
Main Features
- Responsive Design
As said earlier, the interface is the main highlight. It works smoothly across all devices. There are over four themes to customize the interface.
- Bulk Service Import and Pricing
Users can bulk add all services from API providers and set price percentage increases to optimize the service management process.
- API Integration with Multiple Providers
SMM Matrix lets you connect with thousands of service providers through their API systems. This way, your services will remain active even if one particular provider fails. And, you can give timely updates to users through push notifications with API communications.
Missing Features
- Advanced Analytics
Even though the platform offers some basic analysis, it lacks in-depth analytic metrics that give more ROI insights.
- No Mobile Application
The platform has a mobile-friendly interface but doesn’t have a dedicated smartphone app, which is crucial to improve user experience by providing on-the-go access and management.
6. SmartStore
Foundation Year: 2022
Price: Less than $5
SmartStore is an all-in-one Social Media Marketing (SMM) panel script developed by SmartKaido, designed to facilitate the creation and management of SMM services. As the name suggests, it has an e-commerce-like approach to SMM services.
It doesn’t focus on bulk service variety but instead works hard to maintain a tighter portfolio of high-quality services. In short, it’s more of a professional panel. And if you’re the kind of person who prioritizes reliability over sheer quantity, it’s worth trying.
SmartStore is available for a one-time payment, with prices varying across platforms. For instance, in CodeCanyon, it could be purchased for $45 and an extra $15 for extended support up to 12 months. Whereas it could be purchased for less than $5 on another platform.
Payment Methods
Although the exact number of payment methods isn’t mentioned, it’s clear that the platform supports prominent payment gateways like:
- PayPal
- Stripe
- Manual payment methods
Main Features
- Unlimited Service and Category Management
Most template-based SMM scripts restrict your scope to a certain number of service offerings. Luckily, SmartStore doesn’t limit you in how many services or categories you can add.
That’s really important if you’re creating niche-based sub-panels (e.g., TikTok-only panel, Indian influencers, SEO tools, etc.). It also supports bulk service import and filtering options to improve the user experience.
- Multilingual Frontend Support
SmartStore is prebuilt with multilingual support. That means you don’t have to hack the core files to add another language.
All user-facing strings can be translated, and some versions come with language switchers built in. This makes it possible to expand your panel to international clients as well.
- Automated Email Notification System
The script includes a full email notification system that updates users about key actions: order confirmations, payment status, password resets, and account actions. Emails could be customized via templates and can be linked with SMTP settings.
Admin Interface
- Blogging Features
One underrated feature in SmartStore is the built-in blogging system and meta-level SEO control. Admins can publish articles with target keywords and optimize their meta descriptions for better organic reach. And of course, such organic traffic is the best friend for a beginner with zero budget.
Missing Features
- No Drip Feed
I’ve double-checked this one. It’s still missing! Drip feed is one of the basic features that an SMM panel must have. So, your accounts will be more prone to algorithm restrictions.
- Lacks Built-in Ticketing System
Although there’s a basic support page, SmartStore doesn’t include a full-fledged support ticketing system within the user dashboard. That means users can’t raise or track issues from their panel login. This could lead to longer response times.
- Lacks Security Features
Security-wise, SmartStore is lacking in critical areas. There is no built-in two-factor authentication (2FA) for user logins or admin panels— something even college-level assignment apps have.
7. SMM Lab
Foundation Year: 2021
Pricing: $49
SMM Lab is a full-featured Laravel-driven SMM panel script that makes it easy for you to create an SMM panel in no time. It’s really modern under the hood, with solid documentation and a 6-month support guarantee.
The platform effectively leverages Laravel’s strengths, such as queue handling, middleware, and blade templating. That makes scaling and customization feel clean and natural.
You can buy the script from CodeCanyon at a one-time fee of $49. If you need to extend the support to 12 months, an additional fee of $16.50 is charged.
Payment Methods
Again, even though the exact number of payment methods is not mentioned explicitly, it’s pretty clear that the platform supports 3 core gateway types:
- PayPal (credit/debit)
- Stripe (cards)
- Crypto wallets and manual/mobile money
Notable Features
- Laravel-Based Modular Architecture
SMM Lab’s Laravel foundation holds tremendous advantages. You will be relieved of many headaches. Controllers handle inputs, and output is handled by views (Blade). This gives you the ability to introduce new APIs and develop reselling modules without breaking previous code.
On top of that, there are many other advanced features like asynchronous order processing, built-in CSRF protection, and rate-limiting. All these keep the panel scalable and secure when your order volume picks up.
- Built‑in Reseller API & Child Panel Support
SMM Lab has a completely integrated API system for resellers. You can:
- Create API keys
- Set usage limits
- Apply custom pricing per reseller.
The system has middleware for usage tracking and throttling, which stops abuse. It also logs all requests and responses, so you have complete visibility on who purchased what and when, right down to provider logs. That kind of control is uncommon in mid-range scripts.
- Automated Emails
SMM Lab implements a full email and notification system using Laravel Notifications. Admins can send templated SMS/email notifications upon order placement, status change, password reset, and so on. Since templates are stored in the database, you can update messaging without re-deploying code.
- API Usage Monitoring
Unlike basic scripts, SMM Lab captures detailed logs of each provider API call, including latency, error status, and response time. Admins can access charts to spot lagging providers early on. If one provider repeatedly times out, you can reroute them before customers raise a complaint.
Missing Features
- No Mobile App
Although technically mobile-responsive, there is no Progressive Web App (PWA) or native mobile app. That means there will be no push notifications or offline access. Admins must always login from the browser.
- No Built-in Support Ticket System
SMM Lab has just a plain contact form. That leaves you to fall back on email or third-party helpdesk software. It becomes harder to track the status of customer complaints as compared to the simple ticketing system, where it could be classified as pending, escalated, closed, etc. And no automation (e.g., auto-close in 48 hours). Eventually, you end up with long extra hours of manual work.

Conclusion
You’ve just seen some of the most popular SMM panel scripts out there — but let’s get one thing straight:
The script you buy doesn’t make money. What you build on top of it does. A $5 script can outperform a $200 one if you use it with the right niche, quality services, clean branding, and a frictionless order experience. That’s why it’s more important to look beyond the features. Focus on what helps you deliver better, faster, and with fewer support headaches.
At the end of the day, you’ll realize… It was never about finding a mere cheap script. It was about building something that pays you back every single day.
