Most collage apps let you add one video and stop there. ReelGrid plays all of them at once. Drop a clip into every cell and hit play — four videos, six, nine, running side by side in a single frame. The reaction. The multi-cam recap. The before-and-after. The highlight reel. One frame, several stories. MULTIPLE VIDEOS, PLAYING TOGETHER • Give every cell its own clip — they all play at the same time • Mix video and photos in the same collage • Trim each clip in the app, right where it sits • Balance the sound cell by cell, or mute the noisy ones 41 LAYOUTS, ALL FREE • Grids, from a simple 2-up to a dense 3×3 • Asymmetric — 70/30 splits, filmstrips, staircases, contact sheets • Creative — polaroid piles, bento boxes, Bauhaus compositions, hexagons • Filter by what you're making: reaction, comparison, multi-cam, highlights Every layout is unlocked from first launch. Nothing in the picker sits behind a lock. FREEFORM — WHEN NO LAYOUT FITS Drag any edge to resize. Cells give and take against their neighbours, so the frame stays full however you pull it around. Even the whole arrangement out, or shuffle it and see what lands. FINISH IT PROPERLY • Captions, titles and labels anywhere on the canvas • Borders, backgrounds and colour themes • Colour filters and per-cell playback speed • Add a music bed, scrub to the right part of the song, fade it in and out EXPORT WHERE IT'S GOING 1:1, 4:5, 9:16, 4:3, 3:2 and 16:9 — sized for Reels, TikTok, Stories, YouTube and the feed. Save as a video or a still image, straight to Photos. Everything renders on your device. Your footage never leaves your phone. WHAT'S FREE All 41 layouts, photo and video collages, the built-in trimmer, text overlays, and square, 4:5 or 9:16 export up to 30 seconds. Free exports save at 720p and carry a small watermark. WHAT PRO ADDS • No watermark • 1080p and 4K export — plus HDR, when your source footage is HDR • Clips up to 60 seconds • Landscape ratios — 4:3, 3:2 and 16:9 • Freeform resizing • Music layer, colour filters with your own LUTs and tone sliders, playback speed • Advanced text styling and the full border editor SUBSCRIPTION ReelGrid Pro is available as: • Weekly — $2.99 • Monthly — $7.99 • Yearly — $29.99 • Lifetime — $59.99, paid once, never renews Prices shown are for the US storefront and vary by region — App Store Connect now sets per-territory pricing, so the exact price is always shown in the app before you buy.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Daystack at none against ReelGrid's 4. ReelGrid's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
