Verdict

The call

Nerdy and MyGrowth both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Nerdy's written reviews are positive against 21% of MyGrowth's. Nerdy also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17). MyGrowth's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (2.5K vs 3). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model 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

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Nerdy sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days 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 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyGrowth has 2.5K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Nerdy'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

Nerdy ships an update every 8 months, MyGrowth every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
