# Photo Grid vs InLab

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Photo Grid at 100% against InLab's 60%. Photo Grid also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). InLab's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (368 vs 5). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Photo Grid sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month and InLab sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Photo Grid holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: InLab has 368 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Photo Grid's written reviews are positive against 60% of InLab's.

Photo Grid ships an update monthly, InLab every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
