# Grit vs GoMode

The clearest difference is review sentiment: GoMode at 100% against Grit's 72%. GoMode also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). Grit's advantage is ratings volume (16K vs 12) and device support (5 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Grit sells 27 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and GoMode sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GoMode holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grit has 16K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 72% of Grit's written reviews are positive against 100% of GoMode's.

Grit ships an update fortnightly, GoMode every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
