# Craft vs Grouper

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Grouper at none against Craft's 10. Grouper also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Craft's advantage is ratings volume (6.6K vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Craft sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Grouper asks for nothing beyond the download.

Grouper holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Craft has 6.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Craft ships an update every 10 days, Grouper every 8 days. Both last shipped on October 14, 2026.
