Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Grower Mobile at 80% against Scale's 0%. Scale's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.7) and iOS requirement (16 vs 18.0). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Scale holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9 and 10 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Grower Mobile's written reviews are positive against 0% of Scale's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
