Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: MyGrowth at Free against Art Tools's $2.99. MyGrowth also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.4) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 8 months). Art Tools's advantage is review sentiment (65% vs 21%) and ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

MyGrowth is free to download; Art Tools costs $2.99 up front. Art Tools sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MyGrowth sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MyGrowth holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyGrowth has 2.5K ratings behind it against 258, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Art Tools's written reviews are positive against 21% of MyGrowth's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Art Tools ships an update every 8 months, MyGrowth every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
