# Grid vs Wake

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Wake at 100% against Grid's 50%. Wake also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 weeks). Grid's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Grid sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $14.99 per year and Wake sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $39.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Wake holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grid has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Grid's written reviews are positive against 100% of Wake's.

Grid ships an update every 5 weeks, Wake every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
