"How much does an ELO boost cost?" depends on three things: how far you want to climb, how high up the ladder you start, and whether the booster plays on your account or with you. This guide breaks down real prices for every tier, explains what moves the price up or down, and shows how to get the best value from a boost.
All prices below are StainBoost's prices as of October 2026, in US dollars. The pricing page always shows the exact, current price for your order before you pay.
Two Ways to Buy a Boost
- Rank boost (division boost): you pick your current rank and your target rank, and pay per division climbed. Best when you have a specific goal, like reaching Gold or Platinum.
- Net wins (win boost): you pay per net win in your current rank. Best for a smaller push, or when you're close to a promotion. What is a win boost? explains the difference in detail.
Rank Boost Prices per Division
Each division is priced by the tier it's in. Higher tiers cost more because games are harder and LP gains are often lower.
| Tier | Solo | Duo |
|---|---|---|
| Iron | $6.00 | $10.00 |
| Bronze | $8.00 | $12.00 |
| Silver | $10.00 | $14.00 |
| Gold | $14.00 | $20.00 |
| Platinum | $20.00 | $26.00 |
| Emerald | $22.00 | $32.00 |
| Diamond IV–III | $32.00 | $48.00 |
| Diamond II–I | $40.00 | $64.00 |
What a Full Tier Costs
Climbing one full tier means four divisions. Starting from 0 LP:
| Boost | Solo | Duo |
|---|---|---|
| Iron IV → Bronze IV | $24 | $40 |
| Bronze IV → Silver IV | $32 | $48 |
| Silver IV → Gold IV | $40 | $56 |
| Gold IV → Platinum IV | $56 | $80 |
| Platinum IV → Emerald IV | $80 | $104 |
| Emerald IV → Diamond IV | $88 | $128 |
| Diamond IV → Master | $144 | $224 |
Shorter climbs cost proportionally less: Silver II to Gold IV is two Silver divisions, so $20 solo.
Net Win Prices
With net wins, you pay per win in the rank your account is currently in. Only net wins count — if a game is lost, another win is owed — so you always get what you paid for.
| Current rank | Solo | Duo |
|---|---|---|
| Iron | $1.50 | $2.50 |
| Bronze | $2.00 | $3.00 |
| Silver | $2.50 | $3.50 |
| Gold | $3.50 | $5.00 |
| Platinum | $5.00 | $6.50 |
| Emerald | $5.50 | $8.00 |
| Diamond IV–III | $8.00 | $12.00 |
| Diamond II–I | $10.00 | $16.00 |
| Master | $15.00 | $20.00 |
Every 5 wins you pay for come with 1 extra win free — pay for 5, get 6; pay for 10, get 12. For example, 5 wins in Gold solo cost $17.50 and you get 6 net wins.
What Makes a Boost Cost More or Less
Solo or Duo
Solo (the booster plays on your account) is the cheaper option. Duo (you play together, on your own account) costs more because it takes two players and you never share your login. Duo vs solo compares them in full.
Your LP Gains Don't Change the Price
Some services charge more when your account gains only a few LP per win, because each division takes more games. StainBoost doesn't: a division costs the same whatever your LP gains are. If your gains are low, here's why it happens.
LP You Already Have
If you're partway through your current division, you only pay for the part that's left: the first division is discounted by the LP you already have.
Optional Extras
- Priority start (+18%): your order goes to the front of the queue.
- Bonus win ($1.45–$6.65 by tier, rank boost only): one extra net win after you reach your target, so you don't land on 0 LP.
Ways to Pay Less
- Referral code: a friend's code takes 20% off your first order.
- Net wins for short climbs: if you're near a promotion, a few wins can be cheaper than a full division boost.
- Pay for 5, get 6: ordering wins in multiples of 5 gets you the free ones.
- Solo instead of duo, if you're comfortable with the booster playing on your account.
Be wary of prices far below everyone else's. Very cheap boosts usually cut corners: large pools of anonymous boosters, scripts or rushed play that puts your account at risk. The cheap ELO boost guide explains what to look out for.
How Payment Works
You see the full price before ordering — there are no extra fees. After you place the order, you pay with PayPal or Binance Pay (other methods can be arranged with Stain on Discord). The boost starts once the payment is confirmed, and you get a full refund if the boost hasn't started.
Every StainBoost order is played by Stain himself — Challenger and the #1 Master Yi on the Middle East server — with offline mode and a VPN matched to your country. Boosts are available on ME, EUW and EUNE at the same prices.
