Our Grade – F
A new, high-volume service that tells boldfaced lies while enraging customers.
At a Glance
Growthoid is a newer Instagram growth service designed to separate the uninformed masses from their money as quickly as possible. They claim to have real people working on your account, which, based on our experience, the price, and the onslaught of negative reviews, is a big ‘ol lie!
No fakes, no bots. Just real people working on your account. The way it should be.
We’ll see about that!
While we can find dozens, if not hundreds, of dissatisfied customers, Growthoid remains a viable business because a lot of customers never write reviews or request refunds. There is also a chance that their basic growth methods are simply tolerated by some customers.
And, if we can be frank, there’s a new clueless businessperson who Google searches “Instagram growth service” every minute. We wish they all would read our website first!

Pricing
Growthoid offers two plans, one perpetually discounted at $49 and another priced at $99 per month. These are pretty common price points especially among the generic deceitful providers.
Service Details
Huh? If this service doesn’t use any automation and you just have people sitting in an office somewhere clicking, how could any customer possibly get 800 – 1500 followers per month?
Even if they were able to guarantee such insane follower growth, how could they afford to pay their employees? Dedicated account managers … everything done by hand … $50 per month plus technology fees? This is preposterous. They can’t possibly be running the service manually.
Growthoid also can’t possibly guarantee that no bots will interact with your account. They might not control the bots, but it’s inevitable that a few will see you and engage with you, for reasons outside your control.
Integrity & Reputation
The shill reviews that they buy try to claim that the service is based in the United States. However, a quick trip to their Terms of Service page suggests otherwise:
Any dispute will be handled in UAE
Growthoid, which claims to be a US-based service
Growthoid claims to do business as an LLC known as Growthoid, LLC. On their signup page, they claim to be based in New York, New York. So, we checked the New York State page for business registration.
We couldn’t find the Growthoid record anywhere.
What about the team? Does anyone anywhere on the internet identify themselves as a Growthoid employee? Again, no. We couldn’t locate a single team member, not even the owner.
Well, once you’re signed up and are within their 14 day “no questions asked” refund window, where’s the form on their website that allows you to request it? Again, you have to email them. You probably also have to email them to cancel your account, which is very dishonest. This doesn’t benefit the customer at all.
Let’s get back to the fake reviews that they purchase.
Seeing a review distribution like this is just hilarious. However, there’s no pattern. Just a ton of bad reviews. Most of them have weak responses, it’s not worth exploring in further detail.
Outside of the pretty website and the ugly Trustpilot page, this website’s name is plastered all over the internet on pay-to-play blog sites. It is a shame that it is so easy to manipulate search rankings.
Conclusion
Growthoid ticks nearly every box for dishonesty. We’re shocked that such a new service with so many red flags was able to so quickly rise in popularity. The service may work decently for some customers but every part of their business is based on pulling the wool over your eyes.
We strongly discourage use of this service until they implement more transparency and alter their branding.
