Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Chillquarium at 79% against Fortune Mill's 34%. Chillquarium also leads on ratings volume (190 vs 1) and update cadence (daily vs every 6 days). Fortune Mill's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fortune Mill holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chillquarium has 190 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Chillquarium's written reviews are positive against 34% of Fortune Mill's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Chillquarium ships an update daily, Fortune Mill every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
