# Grok vs Venice AI

The clearest difference is rating: Grok at 4.9 against Venice AI's 4.3. Grok also leads on review sentiment (72% vs 45%) and ratings volume (1.6M vs 1.7K). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Grok sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $10.00 per month and Venice AI sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $23.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Grok holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grok has 1.6M ratings behind it against 1.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 72% of Grok's written reviews are positive against 45% of Venice AI's.

Grok ships an update every 2 days, Venice AI every 8 days. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
