# GrowIt vs CodHome

The clearest difference is update cadence: GrowIt at every 2 weeks against CodHome's every 4 months. GrowIt also leads on ratings volume (14K vs 1). CodHome's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 46%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GrowIt sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and CodHome sells 43 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CodHome holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GrowIt has 14K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 46% of GrowIt's written reviews are positive against 75% of CodHome's.

GrowIt ships an update every 2 weeks, CodHome every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
