Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: SubMetrix at every 4 days against GrappleDex's monthly. SubMetrix also leads on ratings volume (6 vs 1). GrappleDex's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.2). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases 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. GrappleDex sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month and SubMetrix sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. 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 GrappleDex against 5.0 for SubMetrix. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SubMetrix has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
GrappleDex ships an update monthly, SubMetrix every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
