Growthoid Review 2026: Where Growthoid.com Goes Now

Growthoid.com has sent visitors to SidesMedia, another shop, since July 2026. On October 22, 2026, every Growthoid address we tried, even its cancel page, ended on SidesMedia's homepage. SidesMedia's price list that day didn't show an Instagram service. Growthoid itself sold managed Instagram growth for $49 a month as late as January 2025. A separate site, growthoid.co, uses the name, and it ranked first in Google for "growthoid" that day.

We read Growthoid's old pages from Internet Archive copies and checked the live addresses through our server on October 22, 2026. We didn't buy anything.

What happened to Growthoid?

Date	What the site showed
June 2023	Instagram growth, "NO Bots"
Jan. 2025	Instagram plans, $49 a month
July 2025	Instagram page sends to TikTok
May 2026	Other apps, no Instagram
July 2026	Forwards to SidesMedia

Internet Archive copies of growthoid.com from June 4, 2023 to September 30, 2026, read October 22, 2026.

Growthoid started out selling Instagram growth. The first archive copy of growthoid.com is from September 2020, a month after the domain was set up. In June 2023, its homepage promised "Real Instagram Followers" and "Organic Growth with NO Bots" in its title. In January 2025, its Standard plan "costs $49/month," it said. It said clients typically gained "800 to 1,500 real followers per month" and promised "a dedicated account manager" to help.

Then Instagram left its menu. In April 2025, its Instagram followers page sold one-off packages from $2.97. By July 2025, that page sent you to its TikTok page. Its May 2026 homepage sold followers, likes and views for YouTube, TikTok, X, Spotify, Twitch, LinkedIn, Reddit and more. Its FAQ by then said "Growthoid started as an expert in TikTok growth." Its cheapest option was 100 TikTok followers for $2.97.

The archive's first copy of the redirect is from July 25, 2026. The registry record for growthoid.com was last changed the next day. Our server got the same redirect on October 22, 2026.

Who ran Growthoid?

Its pages named different firms over time. In January 2025, its cancel page listed "INSPIRE DIGITAL LLC" at an address in Dallas, Texas. Its May 2026 homepage named "INSPIRE DIGITAL FZ LLC" in Dubai.

Its age claims don't line up either. Its 2024 and 2025 homepages said it had been "serving happy customers since 2013," and its pages showed a copyright starting in 2016. Yet growthoid.com was registered on August 25, 2020. Its terms also banned any "commercial use" of the service.

What did Growthoid promise, and what did its billing policy say?

Growthoid said	Its billing policy
"no-contract plans"	6-month and 1-year contracts
"canceled whenever you want"	Form before the bill date
"a fair refund policy"	Refunds in the first 14 days

Growthoid's homepage (January 13, 2025) and Billing Policy (March 21, 2025), from Internet Archive copies.

The billing policy offered "a 14-day money-back guarantee." After 14 days, it said, "we do not offer any refunds." Monthly plans renewed on their own, and you had to send the cancel form "before your next bill date" to stop the next one. It gave "No prorated refunds" for the rest of a paid period. And it called its 6-month and 1-year plans "binding contracts" in the same policy.

Its April 2025 Instagram page mixed one-time and monthly billing. The order box showed a "One-time order" of $4.99, with this note: "If you select PayPal, you will be charged on the same day each month." That's a line worth checking for on any shop.

The top Reddit result for "growthoid review," from February 13, 2021, is a complaint. As Google shows it, the poster says they "paid a 99$ plan" and got their Instagram blocked three times. Reddit's rules kept us from reading the thread itself.

Where does growthoid.com go now?

To SidesMedia's homepage. On October 22, 2026, Growthoid's home, cancel, billing and Instagram pages all ended there. SidesMedia's price list that day covered YouTube, TikTok, Twitter (X), Spotify and more, with no Instagram service. Our SidesMedia review covers its prices and terms.

If you're still seeing Growthoid charges, ask your card issuer or PayPal to stop them, since the cancel form is gone. It's worth keeping your receipts and the dates.

Is growthoid.co the same Growthoid?

It's another address, and we couldn't find anything that ties it to the old growthoid.com. It ranked first in Google for "growthoid" on October 22, 2026. It sells Instagram followers, likes and views, with a "SAVE10" code for 10% off.

Package	Price	Struck price
100 followers	$1.49	$2.99
500 followers	$4.97	$6.99
1,000 likes	$1.97	$4.99
100,000 likes	$53.97	$99.95
150,000 likes	$50.00	$79.99

growthoid.co's homepage, read October 22, 2026.

Some bigger packages cost less: 150,000 likes cost $50.00, against $53.97 for 100,000. It also sells "Google maps reviews," two for $9.95. ScamAdviser rates growthoid.co's trust score "very low," from a check about a year old.

Both sites sold reviews. The old Growthoid's FAQ said it was "particularly known for helping clients buy Google reviews" in its last months. In the US, an FTC rule, 16 CFR 465.2, bars a business from buying a review it "knew or should have known" misrepresents whether the reviewer exists or used the product.

What do outside checks say about Growthoid?

Check	What it shows
ScamAdviser, .com	"very low trust score"
ScamAdviser, .co	"very low" score
Sitejabber, .com	0 reviews

ScamAdviser's reports, updated about five months and one year earlier, and Sitejabber's page, which now opens on SmartCustomer, read October 22, 2026.

ScamAdviser says growthoid.com "has a very low trust score" and notes a flag from the security firm Gridinsoft. Its check found no reviews on "commonly used review sites." Google's Trustpilot result for "growthoid" belongs to growthsilo.co, another site. Trustpilot's site rules don't allow our reader, so we didn't check Growthoid's own page there. G2 didn't let our reader in either.

Is Growthoid legit?

There's no Growthoid service left to buy at growthoid.com. When it sold, its pages promised more than its billing policy gave: "no-contract plans," next to 6-month and 1-year "binding contracts." It named different firms over time and claimed buyers since 2013 on a domain from 2020. And Instagram said in 2018 that it would remove "inauthentic likes, follows and comments from accounts that use third-party apps to boost their popularity."
