ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PhotoSplit for Instagram holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PhotoSplit for Instagram has 28K 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 37% of PhotoSplit for Instagram's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Grid Maker ships an update weekly, PhotoSplit for Instagram every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
