Verdict
The clearest difference is price: GROHE IR Remote at Free against Any Text · Widgets's $4.00. GROHE IR Remote also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). Any Text · Widgets's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 63 months) and chart position (#36 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
