# Resize Image vs Drawing Grid Maker

The clearest difference is rating: Resize Image at 4.6 against Drawing Grid Maker's 2.9. Resize Image also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 8). Drawing Grid Maker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Resize Image sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Drawing Grid Maker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Resize Image holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Resize Image has 1K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of Resize Image's written reviews are positive against 25% of Drawing Grid Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Resize Image ships an update monthly, Drawing Grid Maker every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
