# Grid Masters vs ColorCrafter

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ColorCrafter at 100% against Grid Masters's 50%. ColorCrafter also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (3 vs 1). Grid Masters's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.3) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Grid Masters sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and ColorCrafter sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Grid Masters holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Grid Masters's written reviews are positive against 100% of ColorCrafter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Grid Masters ships an update every 4 months, ColorCrafter every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
