# Grid vs InstaSlide

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Grid at 88% against InstaSlide's 0%. Grid also leads on rating (4.7 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (799 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Grid sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and InstaSlide sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Grid holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grid has 799 ratings behind it against 1, 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 0% of InstaSlide's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
