Yes. Take G=F2​. The free product satisfies
G∗G≅F2​∗F2​≅F4​.
(1)
A connected three-sheeted cover of the two-petal rose has fundamental group of rank 1+3(2−1)=4 by the Nielsen–Schreier formula. Thus F4​ is isomorphic to an index-three subgroup of F2​. A finite-index subgroup quasi-isometry then gives
F2​≃qi​F4​≅F2​∗F2​.​
