Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Griddy at 4.7 against Carousel Collage's 4.0. Griddy also leads on ratings volume (2.6K vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). Carousel Collage's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
