# PhotoGrid vs GeoGrid

The clearest difference is rating: PhotoGrid at 4.9 against GeoGrid's 3.9. PhotoGrid also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (118K vs 18). GeoGrid's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PhotoGrid sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and GeoGrid sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PhotoGrid holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PhotoGrid has 118K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 90% of PhotoGrid's written reviews are positive against 71% of GeoGrid's.

PhotoGrid ships an update weekly, GeoGrid every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
