How much does boosting cost? At the time of writing, a typical one-tier climb at mid ranks costs about $18 to $70 on Boosting Games, depending on the game. Prices are set per division, rise sharply at high ranks, and duo or self-play costs 1.5 times the piloted price. Coaching starts at $25 an hour.
How much does boosting cost, and how is the price worked out?
Most rank boosts are priced per step on the ladder. Each division has its own price, and the total is the sum of every division between your current rank and your target. Higher divisions cost more because each win is harder to get and is worth less rank progress. That is why a climb near the top of a ladder can cost several times more than the same number of divisions near the bottom.
Four things change the final number:
- Your start and target rank. The biggest factor by far.
- Mode. Piloted (a booster plays on your account) is the base price. Duo or self-play, where you play alongside the booster, costs 1.5 times as much because the booster is carrying a teammate instead of playing alone.
- Add-ons. Optional extras such as priority or express speed add a percentage.
- The game. Each game has its own price ladder, set from how long climbs actually take.
All prices here are in US dollars, taken from our calculators at the time of writing (October 2026). "From" prices can change, so the calculator on each game page is the final word. For background on what a boost actually is, see what is rank boosting.
Rank boost cost by game: one-tier examples
Here is what a single tier at a common mid-ladder point costs in nine games. The duo column is the same climb with you playing alongside the booster.
| Game | Example climb | Piloted | Duo / self-play |
|---|---|---|---|
| Valorant | Gold 1 → Platinum 1 | $39 | $58.50 |
| League of Legends | Gold IV → Platinum IV | $56 | $84 |
| Overwatch | Platinum 5 → Diamond 5 | $70 | $105 |
| Apex Legends | Gold IV → Platinum IV | $28 | $42 |
| Counter-Strike 2 | 10,000 → 15,000 CS Rating | $60 | $90 |
| Marvel Rivals | Gold III → Platinum III | $21 | $31.50 |
| Rainbow Six Siege X | Gold V → Platinum V | $32.50 | $48.75 |
| Fortnite | Gold I → Platinum I | $18 | $27 |
| Rocket League | Platinum I → Diamond I (12 divisions) | $18 | $27 |
The spread is mostly about ladder design. Rocket League splits every rank into four divisions, so each step is cheap but there are many of them. Overwatch has five divisions per tier, so a full tier adds up. League of Legends sits higher because each LP gain takes longer at Gold and above.
Why is boosting so expensive at high ranks?
Prices climb steeply near the top. In League of Legends, a division costs $14 at Gold and $55 at Diamond. In Valorant, it is $13 at Gold and $75 at Immortal. Three reasons:
- Each win gives less rank progress at the top, so more games are needed per division.
- Opponents are much stronger, so fewer boosters can win consistently there.
- Queue times are longer, so the same number of games takes more hours.
Some worked examples at the top end:
| Climb | Working | Piloted price |
|---|---|---|
| League of Legends Diamond IV → Master | 4 divisions at $55 | $220 |
| Valorant Immortal 1 → Immortal 3 | 2 divisions at $75 | $150 |
| Overwatch Grandmaster 5 → Champion 5 | 5 divisions at $55 | $275 |
| Valorant Iron 1 → Immortal 3 (full ladder) | every division from Iron to Immortal | $519 |
We do not sell leaderboard tiers, such as Radiant in Valorant, Grandmaster and Challenger in League or Top 500 in Overwatch, because nobody can honestly promise a live leaderboard spot. Our rank distribution guide shows how few players reach those tiers.
Win boosting and placement prices
If you only need a few wins, per-win pricing is often better value than a full division. A "win" here is one ranked win played on your account. Per-win prices at Gold (piloted):
| Game | Per win at Gold | Per win at Diamond |
|---|---|---|
| Valorant | $6 | $12 |
| League of Legends | $6 | $20 |
| Overwatch | $4 | $7 |
| Apex Legends | $5 | $12 |
| Fortnite | $5 | $9 |
Placement matches are priced per game too: $4 per placement game in Valorant, League of Legends, Overwatch and CS2, for example. Bundles cover the step before ranked; the Valorant Ranked Starter Bundle (level 20 unlock plus 5 placements) is $39. More on this in win boosting explained.
What do add-ons cost?
Add-ons are optional and priced as a percentage of the boost.
| Add-on | Extra cost | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Priority | +20% | Your order goes to the front of the job board |
| Express | +40% | The booster plays extra sessions every day |
| Solo queue only | +10% | Piloted only; the booster does not stack with others |
| +1 bonus win | +20% | One extra win at your new rank |
| Choose agents / champions / heroes | Free | The booster plays your picks |
| Appear offline | Free | Piloted only; hides the booster from your friends list |
For example, the Valorant Gold 1 → Platinum 1 climb above is $39 piloted, or $46.80 with Priority (+20%). Most people do not need Express; it only matters if you have a deadline such as a season ending (see ranked reset dates).
Coaching, duo hours and membership prices
Not every option is a boost. If you would rather improve, or keep your login private, these are the per-hour and monthly prices at the time of writing:
| Service | Price | Login shared? |
|---|---|---|
| Coaching with a high-rank coach | $25 per hour | No |
| Coaching with a top-ranked or pro coach | $45 per hour | No |
| VOD review | $15 per match reviewed | No |
| Play With a Pro (duo hours) | $19 for 1 hour, $49 for 3, $75 for 5 | No |
| Duo Pass Membership | $69 a month (4 hours) | No |
| Coaching Pass Membership | $89 a month (4 hours) | No |
| Ranked Wins Membership | $59 a month up to Gold, $99 for Platinum to Diamond (15 wins) | Piloted or duo |
Coaching is usually the better long-term spend if you want to stay at your new rank. Our is game coaching worth it guide goes deeper.
How to keep the cost down without cutting corners
- Climb in stages. Book one tier at a time and play a few games yourself between orders.
- Use per-win pricing for short gaps. If you are a few wins from the next division, buy wins instead of a division.
- Skip Express unless there is a deadline. Standard speed costs nothing extra.
- Pick duo hours if you mostly want a partner. An hour with a pro is $19 and keeps your login with you.
Price is not the only cost. Piloted boosting breaks the terms of service in most games and can lead to a suspension or rank rollback. Duo carries less risk and coaching does not touch your account. See account safety and is boosting bannable.

How much does an elo boost cost?
At the time of writing, a one-tier League of Legends climb from Gold IV to Platinum IV costs $56 piloted on Boosting Games, or $84 in duo. Lower tiers cost less ($6 a division at Iron) and higher tiers cost more ($55 a division at Diamond). The calculator on the League of Legends page adds up every division between your current and target rank and shows the total before you pay.
Why does duo boosting cost more?
Duo or self-play costs 1.5 times the piloted price because the booster has to win while carrying you as a teammate, which takes more games than playing alone. You also queue on your own schedule, so orders can take longer. The trade-off is that you keep your login and play every game yourself, which carries less ban risk than a piloted boost.
Is it cheaper to buy wins or divisions?
It depends on how close you are. If you are only a few wins from the next division, per-win pricing is usually cheaper. In Valorant, a win at Gold is $6 while a full Gold division is $13. If you need several divisions, the per-division calculator is simpler and gives you a fixed total for the whole climb.
How much does coaching cost per hour?
Coaching on Boosting Games costs $25 an hour with a high-rank coach and $45 an hour with a top-ranked or pro coach. A VOD review, where a coach goes through one of your matches, is $15 per match. The Coaching Pass Membership gives four hours a month for $89.
Do boosting prices change during the season?
Prices can change, which is why we say "at the time of writing". The calculator on each game page always shows the current total before you pay, and that is the price you pay for that order. Demand often rises near the end of a ranked season, so booking earlier usually means more booster availability.
What is the most expensive boost?
The top of each ladder costs the most. On our site, a League of Legends Diamond division is $55, a Valorant Immortal division is $75 and an Overwatch Grandmaster division is $55 piloted. A full Valorant climb from Iron 1 to Immortal 3 adds up to $519. Leaderboard ranks such as Radiant or Challenger are not sold at any price.
