# Grid vs Perfect Post

The clearest difference is ads: Grid at none against Perfect Post's shown. Grid also leads on ratings volume (800 vs 4). Perfect Post's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Grid sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Perfect Post sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Perfect Post holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grid has 800 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of Grid's written reviews are positive against 100% of Perfect Post's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
