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.
Lettuce Grow holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lettuce Grow has 776 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Lettuce Grow's written reviews are positive against 50% of Mother App'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. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
