# Jomo vs Gridwork

The clearest difference is monetization model: Gridwork at free against Jomo's free with in-app purchases. Gridwork also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Jomo's advantage is ratings volume (2.6K vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Jomo sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Gridwork sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Gridwork holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jomo has 2.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
