# Grid Maker vs Grid Post

The clearest difference is ads: Grid Maker at none against Grid Post's shown. Grid Maker also leads on review sentiment (71% vs 61%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). Grid Post's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (14K vs 191). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Grid Maker sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per 7 days and Grid Post sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Grid Post holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grid Post has 14K ratings behind it against 191, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Grid Maker's written reviews are positive against 61% of Grid Post's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Grid Maker ships an update weekly, Grid Post every 6 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
