A grid comparison standard
- If you want to add a grid, please create a pull request of a new file in
grids. We have automated testing for you to know if everything was done correctly. - If you want to change information for a grid, you must also reference a legitimate source for it.
- If we are missing a grid feature, please create an issue, and we will consider adding it.
In the differences folder, you can find a comparison between each 2 grids we have data on.
It is recommended to check it out before getting a "pro" version of a grid, to see what you are actually paying for.
Here we compare the grids using the markdown table, to show no bias to any grid. If willing, other grids can show this table using their grid. This comparison is alphabetical, to avoid owner's bias.
Note: Because the similarities don't matter, this table only shows the differences.
Note: This MD table has horizontal scrolling. Please use the middle mouse button to see all the grids.
