# PhotoGrid vs Photo Grid

The clearest difference is ratings volume: PhotoGrid at 118K against Photo Grid's 4. PhotoGrid also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and chart position (#66 vs unranked). Photo Grid's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 90%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PhotoGrid sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Photo Grid sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for PhotoGrid against 5.0 for Photo Grid. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PhotoGrid has 118K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 90% of PhotoGrid's written reviews are positive against 100% of Photo Grid's.

PhotoGrid ships an update weekly, Photo Grid monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 4, 2026 respectively.
