Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Grid at none against Grid #'s shown. Grid also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 66%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Grid #'s advantage is ratings volume (10K vs 792) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
