Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Grid Remote at none against FaceApp's 11. Grid Remote also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). FaceApp's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 11 months) and chart position (#9 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
