They grow at the same rate, but since you do more with your fingers, your fingernails tend to break or chip. Also if you notice (This might sound gross) but your toe nails are thicker than your fingernails.

The American Academy of Dermatology provided these nail facts:
- On average, nails grow about 0.1 mm (or about .004 inch) per day; fingernails tend to grow a little faster than toenails. However, individual growth rates depend on age, activity level, time of year and heredity.
- In general, nails tend to grow faster in summer than they do in winter.
- Men's nails usually grow faster than women's nails. Exceptions are during pregnancy and old age.
- Nails on the dominant hand – either right or left – tend to grow faster.
- Disease, hormone imbalance and aging can affect nail growth.

You don't use your toes to pick up things or dial or type .So they don't break off or split.
