Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Grid Lock at none against KangaRuun's 3. Grid Lock also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months). KangaRuun's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
