VK at the panels: large catalogue, marginal market

VK appears in almost every panel catalogue but plays hardly any role in the German-speaking market. Across all indexed panels there are 557 orderable entries in 13 service tiers from 10 catalogues — enough for a price comparison, too little to claim there is a German market here.

That shapes how to read the numbers on this page. The offers are aimed at a Russian-speaking audience, the origin details in the titles name correspondingly different target countries, and a German target audience is the exception here rather than the norm.

This does not change the comparison itself: the catalogue is the same, the fields are the same, and price, quantity limits and refill field can be read just as they are everywhere else.

One figure still belongs to the picture because it comes from the fields rather than the titles: the number of offers in this network where the panel reports a refill through its own interface is 26. This refers to the variant that can be triggered yourself; what the offer name says is a promise, not a field. In a selection whose titles mostly name other target countries, a checked field is worth more than a promise in a language nobody here is checking.

The lowest priced base price in this network is 0.003 € per thousand units, and the middle of the range sits at 3.74 €. The lower value is currently provided by Stream promotion — this is a property of a single catalogue and not a market situation, and at the next pull it may sit with a different provider. Both are wholesale purchase prices, not what a German-speaking sales page charges for it.

Likes and views attach to the individual post Likes and Views. Live viewers belong to the ongoing stream and are offered by very few providers — in such a thinly populated tier the price level is a property of individual catalogues and not a market situation.

Which providers stand behind these rows is shown in the panel comparison.

Between two exports the catalogue does not stand still. Since 31/10/2026, 34 entries in this scope have a different base price than before, of which 0 upward and 34 downward; 0 rows have been added and 0 have disappeared from the catalogues. The date given is the oldest of these earlier exports, so that the row does not claim a freshness its slowest component does not have.

Comparison only runs across panels that have a second export at all; their number is 10 and is not the number of indexed panels, because a newly added provider has no history yet. As long as this second export is missing, nothing is shown here — a zero would mean "nothing has moved", and that is a measurement, not a gap.

Two details appear in no panel interface and are therefore maintained by hand from the panels' own information: whether a provider issues a proper invoice and which payment methods it accepts. The number of providers with an invoice in this scope is 1. Since 30/08/2026, none of these details here has gone unchecked — the oldest check is shown rather than the most recent, because a date based on the last check would hide the providers that nobody has looked at for longest. The number of providers with no check at all is currently 0.

Where entries from different providers within a tier match each other down to the quantity limits, we group them and mark the more expensive rows with a note that they probably sell the same source — not all of them, because where the price gap can only be a counting error, the note is left out. The number of groups touching this selection is 40, the number of marked rows is 44. The word "probably" matters: no panel writes into its interface whom it buys from, and two identically cut rows are a hint, not proof. What touches this selection is also counted — the groups do not split the stock. How this is measured is described in the panel comparison.
