Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Wim Hof Method at 4.9 against Mygrow's 4.0. Wim Hof Method also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (13K vs 3). Mygrow's advantage is review sentiment (90% vs 76%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Wim Hof Method sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Mygrow sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Wim Hof Method holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wim Hof Method has 13K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Wim Hof Method'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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Wim Hof Method ships an update fortnightly, Mygrow every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
