# Grid Masters vs Yard AI

The clearest difference is update cadence: Yard AI at weekly against Grid Masters's every 4 months. Yard AI also leads on ratings volume (531 vs 1) and chart position (#184 vs unranked). Grid Masters's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
