# Grayout vs Antitype

The clearest difference is rating: Antitype at 4.4 against Grayout's 3.7. Antitype also leads on ratings volume (965 vs 61) and chart position (#26 vs #83). Grayout's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (63% vs 51%). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Grayout costs $2.99 and Antitype $3.99 up front. Antitype sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Grayout asks for nothing beyond the download.

Antitype holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Antitype has 965 ratings behind it against 61, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Grayout's written reviews are positive against 51% of Antitype's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
