Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
GrizzlySAFE holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Extempore has 85 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Extempore's written reviews are positive against 0% of GrizzlySAFE'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 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
