# Grow vs Growbert

The clearest difference is ads: Growbert at none against Grow's shown. Growbert also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Grow sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Growbert sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
