Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Grid Maker at free with in-app purchases against InLab's subscription. Grid Maker also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (71% vs 60%). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Grid Maker sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per 7 days and InLab sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

InLab holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 191 and 368 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Grid Maker's written reviews are positive against 60% of InLab'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, InLab every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
