# Grid vs BigPic

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Grid at 801 against BigPic's 1. BigPic's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Grid sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per year and BigPic sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BigPic holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grid has 801 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Grid ships an update every 3 weeks, BigPic every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
