# Lightme vs GRPS

Lightme and GRPS both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of GRPS's written reviews are positive against 75% of Lightme's. Lightme's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (101 vs 5). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lightme sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and GRPS sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Lightme against 4.8 for GRPS. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lightme has 101 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of Lightme's written reviews are positive against 100% of GRPS's.

Lightme ships an update every 9 days, GRPS every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
