Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Root Growth holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Root Growth has 1.4K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of Root Growth's written reviews are positive against 63% of Chicken Royale's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Root Growth ships an update monthly, Chicken Royale every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
