Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Mushroom ID at Free against GridMaker's $0.99. Mushroom ID also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.2) and ratings volume (496 vs 41). GridMaker's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
