Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Grid at free with in-app purchases against Grid Maker Photo Layout's subscription. Grid also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (797 vs 199). Grid Maker Photo Layout's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 88%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Grid sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Grid Maker Photo Layout sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Grid holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 797 and 199 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Grid's written reviews are positive against 100% of Grid Maker Photo Layout's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 17, 2026.
