Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Grobe at 100% against Macro AI's 32%. Grobe also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Macro AI's advantage is ratings volume (599 vs 24) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Macro AI sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Grobe sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Grobe holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Macro AI has 599 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 32% of Macro AI's written reviews are positive against 100% of Grobe's.
Macro AI ships an update every 3 weeks, Grobe every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
