# SwipePano vs Grid Split

The clearest difference is rating: Grid Split at 4.8 against SwipePano's 1.0. Grid Split also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). SwipePano's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SwipePano sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Grid Split sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Grid Split holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.0.
