# Aphid vs Grok Bot

The clearest difference is update cadence: Grok Bot at every 4 days against Aphid's every 3 weeks. Grok Bot also leads on ratings volume (8.3K vs 5) and chart position (#15 vs unranked). Aphid's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 82%) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Aphid sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Grok Bot sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $25.99 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 Aphid against 4.9 for Grok Bot. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grok Bot has 8.3K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Aphid's written reviews are positive against 82% of Grok Bot's.

Aphid ships an update every 3 weeks, Grok Bot every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
