# Griddr. vs GridCam

The clearest difference is ads: GridCam at none against Griddr.'s shown. GridCam also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Griddr.'s advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Griddr. sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and GridCam sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Griddr. against 5.0 for GridCam. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Griddr. has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Griddr. ships an update fortnightly, GridCam every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and August 31, 2026 respectively.
