Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GreyMatter at 5.0 against Later's 4.5. GreyMatter also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). Later's advantage is ratings volume (173 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Later sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and GreyMatter sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
GreyMatter holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Later has 173 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Later ships an update every 5 days, GreyMatter every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
