Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Fortune Mill at 5.0 against Excellent Throw's 3.2. Fortune Mill also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). Excellent Throw's advantage is review sentiment (57% vs 34%) and ratings volume (43 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Excellent Throw sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Fortune Mill sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fortune Mill holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Excellent Throw has 43 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Excellent Throw's written reviews are positive against 34% of Fortune Mill's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Excellent Throw ships an update every 3 weeks, Fortune Mill every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
