The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Color Edison at none against Grow Guide's 3. Color Edison also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.2 vs 15.0). Grow Guide's advantage is ratings volume (129 vs 4). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
