Verdict
The clearest difference is price: SymbolGrid at Free against auth.'s $3.99. SymbolGrid also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 58%). auth.'s advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.0) and chart position (#178 vs unranked). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support 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
SymbolGrid is free to download; auth. costs $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
auth. holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of auth.'s written reviews are positive against 100% of SymbolGrid's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and August 16, 2026 respectively.
