ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Layout for Creators holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grid Tiles has 1.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 6% of Layout for Creators'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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Layout for Creators ships an update every 9 days, Grid Tiles every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
