Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Grid # at 4.6 against Grid's 3.7. Grid # also leads on ratings volume (10K vs 3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.6). Grid's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
