# Get a Grip vs Break The Loop

The clearest difference is monetization model: Get a Grip at free with in-app purchases against Break The Loop's subscription. Get a Grip also leads on ratings volume (237 vs 37). Break The Loop's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (50% vs 29%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Get a Grip sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Break The Loop sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Get a Grip holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Get a Grip has 237 ratings behind it against 37, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Get a Grip's written reviews are positive against 50% of Break The Loop's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Get a Grip ships an update every 2 days, Break The Loop every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
