Presented by designer Qianwei Bian. Appsolution recommended! "Is 9Cut an app that could cut an image into 9 slices and upload them to some social apps to play as 9 elements of a whole big image?" "Yeah, you've got it." Usage ABC: 1. Open an image; 2. May choose the shape of whole view; 3. Zoom or move your image and save its 9 slices into camera roll; 4. Go to apps as WeChat, Sina Weibo, Qzone, Facebook, which support muti-image-uploading to choose slices in sequence and upload. 9Cut is designed and coded by designer Gigo.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Grid at 4.7 against 9Cut's 3.3. Grid also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 58%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). 9Cut's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
