# Grideo vs Social Post Pro

The clearest difference is monetization model: Social Post Pro at free with in-app purchases against Grideo's subscription. Social Post Pro also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 81%). Grideo's advantage is ratings volume (578 vs 20) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Grideo sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Social Post Pro sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Social Post Pro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grideo has 578 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 81% of Grideo's written reviews are positive against 100% of Social Post Pro's.

Grideo ships an update every 5 weeks, Social Post Pro every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
