# Grok vs Lovable

The clearest difference is monetization model: Grok at free against Lovable's free with in-app purchases. Grok also leads on ratings volume (1.6M vs 2.7K) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 days). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Grok sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $10.00 per month and Lovable sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Grok against 4.8 for Lovable. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grok has 1.6M ratings behind it against 2.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 72% of Grok's written reviews are positive against 70% of Lovable's.

Grok ships an update every 2 days, Lovable every 6 days. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
