Question 1

What is GrowthOS?

Accepted Answer

GrowthOS by Sales Shuru is the AI Product Manager for freelancers and solo developers. Start from an idea or bring a shipping product. Plan once — coding agents execute from it, and you verify the outcome. Idea → PRD → UX Spec → backlog → sprint → delivery, with hosted MCP for Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, or any MCP client.

Question 2

How is GrowthOS different from ChatPRD or planning in Cursor?

Accepted Answer

ChatPRD and Cursor-native flows often leave the plan in one chat thread. GrowthOS keeps a living PRD, backlog, and sprint board — including next-wave plans for products already shipping. Agents claim real tickets, then you verify shipped work against acceptance criteria. Memory in an IDE does not replace that loop.

Question 3

Is GrowthOS like a prompt-to-app builder?

Accepted Answer

No. Those tools generate UI and hosted previews from a prompt. GrowthOS is the living PRD + backlog + sprint OS; coding agents pull the next task via MCP and mark work done. Use a builder for a greenfield demo; use GrowthOS when you need product memory and traceable delivery.

Question 4

How is GrowthOS different from Jira or Linear?

Accepted Answer

Jira and Linear are execution tools. GrowthOS owns planning — Idea Lab, PRD Studio, UX Spec, AI backlog, sprint planning — plus MCP so agents claim real tickets. Plan in GrowthOS; execute on the native board. Connected Linear/Jira is Enterprise-only.

Question 5

What is Native vs Connected mode?

Accepted Answer

Free, Pro, and Team run the full loop on the native GrowthOS board. Connected sync to Linear/Jira is an Enterprise feature — not teased as a locked Free/Pro upsell.

Question 6

Is GrowthOS really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Free includes one full project end-to-end — idea or existing product → PRD → UX Spec → backlog — plus one agent MCP handoff so you can taste delivery. No credit card. You cannot buy ₹499 project add-ons on Free; upgrade to Pro first.

Question 7

What’s the difference between Free, Pro, Team, and Enterprise?

Accepted Answer

Free — 1 seat, 1 full project including 1 MCP handoff. Pro ₹999/mo (₹9,990/yr) — solo, unlimited MCP, sprints, Copilot, 1 included project unlock; extras ₹499. Team ₹2,999/mo (₹29,990/yr) — 5 seats, shared board, basic roles. Enterprise — multi-seat, SSO/SCIM, connected Linear/Jira, governance; contact sales. Prices excl. 18% GST.

Question 8

Why can’t Free buy ₹499 add-ons?

Accepted Answer

Project add-ons are for paid workspaces (Pro and Team). Free is meant to finish one golden path — including one handoff — without mid-flow paywalls. Need another project? Upgrade to Pro, then buy unlocks.

Question 9

What does ₹499 per project buy?

Accepted Answer

A one-time unlock for one extra AI project (Idea → PRD → backlog) on Pro or Team. Pro includes 1 project unlock; extras are ₹499 each. Prices excl. 18% GST.

Question 10

How does the Idea → PRD → Sprint flow work?

Accepted Answer

Start in Idea Lab with a conversation — or bring a shipping product. AI generates a structured PRD in PRD Studio. Approve delivery phases, optionally generate a UX Spec (and Figma frames via agent MCP), then AI builds your backlog. Sprint planning and unlimited MCP claims are on Pro/Team; Free includes one handoff so you can see the delivery loop.

Question 11

Which integrations does GrowthOS support?

Accepted Answer

Hosted MCP connects Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, VS Code Copilot, or any Streamable HTTP MCP client (1 handoff on Free; unlimited on Pro/Team). Connected Linear, Jira, GitLab, Asana, and ClickUp are Enterprise-only. We do not claim Slack, Zapier, or one-click imports as available.

Question 12

Is there annual pricing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pro is ₹9,990/yr and Team is ₹29,990/yr — about two months free vs monthly. Prices excl. 18% GST.

Question 13

Is my data secure?

Accepted Answer

Hosted in AWS Mumbai (ap-south-1). Your data is never used to train AI models. We do not claim SOC 2, ISO, or GDPR until those certifications are in hand.

Question 14

Can I bring a product that’s already shipping?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Choose Bring an existing product, paste docs, or let a coding agent explore the repo. GrowthOS writes a living PRD of what already exists, then plans only the next wave — not a rewrite of everything shipped.

Question 15

What is UX Spec — and does GrowthOS design in Figma?

Accepted Answer

UX Spec is a skippable design-intent screen inventory generated after delivery phases: visual direction, typed elements, and layout patterns — not an in-app mockup editor. Optionally connect GrowthOS MCP plus Figma’s MCP so an agent builds high-fidelity frames and writes links back onto each screen.
