# Growlink vs AROYA

The clearest difference is rating: AROYA at 3.6 against Growlink's 1.8. AROYA also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Growlink's advantage is review sentiment (62% vs 20%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

AROYA holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AROYA has 29 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Growlink's written reviews are positive against 20% of AROYA's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Growlink ships an update monthly, AROYA every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 18, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
