# Art Tools vs MyGrowth

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.

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.

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.
