# Layout for Creators vs Grid

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Grid at 89% against Layout for Creators's 6%. Grid also leads on ratings volume (792 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26). Layout for Creators's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Layout for Creators sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Grid sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

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 has 792 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 89% of Grid's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Layout for Creators ships an update every 9 days, Grid every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 16, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
