# Grid++ vs Photo Grid

The clearest difference is rating: Photo Grid at 5.0 against Grid++'s 4.5. Photo Grid also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 19 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). Grid++'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (161 vs 4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Grid++ sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month and Photo Grid sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Photo Grid holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grid++ has 161 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
