# Grounded vs Refast

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Grounded at 5.8K against Refast's 1. Grounded also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). Refast's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 82%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Grounded sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Refast sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Refast holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grounded has 5.8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 82% of Grounded's written reviews are positive against 100% of Refast's.

Grounded ships an update every 3 weeks, Refast every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
