Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Mill at 4.2 against Growee's 2.7. Mill also leads on ratings volume (95 vs 6). Growee's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, 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.
Mill holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mill has 95 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Growee's written reviews are positive against 64% of Mill's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Growee ships an update every 2 weeks, Mill monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
