# Grid Maker vs Grid Tiles

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Grid Tiles at none against Grid Maker's 9. Grid Tiles also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 176). Grid Maker's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (71% vs 55%). On price, ads 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. Grid Tiles asks for nothing beyond the download.

Grid Tiles holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grid Tiles has 1.4K ratings behind it against 176, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Grid Maker's written reviews are positive against 55% of Grid Tiles'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 Tiles every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
