Growthoid vs Kicksta in 2026: Prices, Terms and What Changed

Only one of the two still sells. Growthoid.com has sent visitors to SidesMedia, another shop, since July 25, 2026. Kicksta still sold managed Instagram growth on October 22, 2026, from $69 a month, or $39 a month paid yearly. Its pricing page says it needs your Instagram password. Growthoid's managed plan cost $49 a month in January 2025.

We read Kicksta's pricing page and terms through our server on October 22, 2026, and Growthoid's old pages from Internet Archive copies. We didn't buy either service.

Growthoid's homepage (January 13, 2025) and Billing Policy (March 21, 2025), from Internet Archive copies; Kicksta's pricing page and Terms of Service, read October 22, 2026.

Kicksta has two plans. Growth costs $69 a month and Advanced $129. Paying quarterly brings them to $49 or $99 a month, and yearly to $39 or $79. Its terms call plans "charged for several months up-front" non-refundable. Monthly and quarterly plans start with a 7-day free trial, and you'll need a card to start it. The trial turns into a paid plan unless you cancel before it ends, its terms say.

You'll want to take care when canceling either one. Growthoid's policy wanted a cancel form "before your next bill date," or the plan renewed. Kicksta's dashboard lets you cancel up to 48 hours before renewal, or you can ask its support team. It's worth getting a confirmation email or chat reply. Without one, the plan stays "active and subject to renewal," its terms say.

What happened to Growthoid?

It moved off Instagram, then shut its own site. Its Instagram page sent visitors to its TikTok page by July 2025, and in May 2026 it sold followers for other apps. Since July 25, 2026, every address we tried, its cancel page included, has ended on SidesMedia's homepage. An earlier version of this page said Growthoid forwarded to Thunderclap.it. We didn't find an archive copy that does, and its own pages ran until May 2026. Our Growthoid timeline has the dates, and our Growthoid review covers what it sold.

Does Kicksta need your Instagram password?

Yes. Its pricing page says "Instagram has no official way for a service to engage on your behalf without it." Its terms add that you consent to "a login from one of Our hubs, which may be in a different geographical region." They also say Kicksta doesn't guarantee how many followers you'll get or "if they will be real individuals."

What else does Kicksta sell?

Its terms describe "Boost Network packages" for paying subscribers. They "provide an immediate increase in follower count through active accounts," and those followers "are not based on targeted engagement criteria." Sales are final once delivery starts. The terms say a chargeback brings "permanent account blacklisting" and ends your plan.

What do outside checks show?

Check	Growthoid	Kicksta
ScamAdviser	"very low trust score"	"Likely Safe"
Sitejabber	0 reviews	1.5 from 1 review

ScamAdviser's reports, updated about five and two months earlier, and Sitejabber's pages (they now open on SmartCustomer), read October 22, 2026.

ScamAdviser still notes that kicksta.co "has received mainly negative reviews." Kicksta's one Sitejabber review, from November 2025, describes a yearly plan the buyer says support "couldn't cancel." Kicksta offered "only a 50 percent refund and the rest as forced credits," the review says. Instagram's rule covers both services. It said in 2018 that it would remove "inauthentic likes, follows and comments from accounts that use third-party apps to boost their popularity."
