Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Grid Maker at none against PicSplit's shown. Grid Maker also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (71% vs 47%). PicSplit's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (765 vs 176). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support 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 PicSplit sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PicSplit holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 176 and 765 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Grid Maker's written reviews are positive against 47% of PicSplit'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, PicSplit every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
