# CloudPlus vs GrowIt

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CloudPlus at 82% against GrowIt's 46%. CloudPlus also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). GrowIt's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CloudPlus sells 32 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and GrowIt sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GrowIt holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GrowIt has 14K ratings behind it against 1.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of CloudPlus's written reviews are positive against 46% of GrowIt's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

CloudPlus ships an update every 2 months, GrowIt every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
