# Grid # vs BigPic

The clearest difference is ads: BigPic at none against Grid #'s shown. BigPic also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Grid #'s advantage is ratings volume (10K vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Grid # sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and BigPic sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BigPic holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grid # has 10K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Grid # ships an update every 3 months, BigPic every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
