# Takeback vs Grok Bot

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Grok Bot at 20K against Takeback's 2. Grok Bot also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 days) and chart position (#7 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Takeback sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days 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.
