# GMX vs Post

GMX and Post both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 71% of GMX's written reviews are positive against 30% of Post's. GMX also leads on ratings volume (17K vs 115) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Post's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 19) and ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GMX sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Post asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for GMX against 4.8 for Post. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GMX has 17K ratings behind it against 115, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 71% of GMX's written reviews are positive against 30% of Post's.

GMX ships an update every 2 weeks, Post every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
