Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: OHD Anywhere at 4.8 against ProGrade's 2.1. OHD Anywhere also leads on review sentiment (68% vs 26%) and ratings volume (13K vs 99). ProGrade's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
