# Mosaic vs Panogrid

The clearest difference is price: Mosaic at Free against Panogrid's $0.99. Mosaic also leads on rating (4.3 vs 3.8) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Panogrid's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (13% vs 0%). On ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Mosaic is free to download; Panogrid costs $0.99 up front. Mosaic sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Panogrid asks for nothing beyond the download.

Mosaic holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Mosaic's written reviews are positive against 13% of Panogrid's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Mosaic ships an update every 3 weeks, Panogrid every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
