Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Root Growth at 4.1 against GoRandom's 2.3. Root Growth also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 4) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). GoRandom's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Root Growth holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Root Growth has 1.4K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of GoRandom's written reviews are positive against 15% of Root Growth's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

GoRandom ships an update every 2 months, Root Growth monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
