Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Witch Hazel at none against Troll Land's shown. Witch Hazel also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 10 months) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). Troll Land's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 88%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Troll Land sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Witch Hazel sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Witch Hazel holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Witch Hazel has 22 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Troll Land's written reviews are positive against 88% of Witch Hazel's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Troll Land ships an update every 10 months, Witch Hazel every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
