Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mygrow at 90% against Discovery's 22%. Mygrow also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Discovery's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). On price, ads, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Mygrow sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month. Discovery asks for nothing beyond the download.
Discovery holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Discovery has 3.6K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Discovery's written reviews are positive against 90% of Mygrow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Discovery ships an update fortnightly, Mygrow every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and August 27, 2026 respectively.
