# Gbox vs Grid

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Grid at 88% against Gbox's 38%. Grid also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (799 vs 31). Gbox's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gbox sells 2 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.

Grid holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grid has 799 ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 38% of Gbox's written reviews are positive against 88% of Grid's.

Gbox ships an update every 2 months, Grid every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
