Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: LoLdle Official at 44% against Root Growth's 15%. LoLdle Official also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Root Growth's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 66). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Root Growth holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Root Growth has 1.4K ratings behind it against 66, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of Root Growth's written reviews are positive against 44% of LoLdle Official's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Root Growth ships an update monthly, LoLdle Official every 9 days. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
