# Carousel Post Collage SwipeMix vs Grid

Carousel Post Collage SwipeMix and Grid both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 88% of Grid's written reviews are positive against 31% of Carousel Post Collage SwipeMix's. Grid also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Carousel Post Collage SwipeMix's advantage is ratings volume (6K vs 800). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Carousel Post Collage SwipeMix sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 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.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Carousel Post Collage SwipeMix against 4.7 for Grid. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Carousel Post Collage SwipeMix has 6K ratings behind it against 800, so its average is the more settled of the two.
