Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BN at 5.0 against Grid's 4.4. Grid's advantage is ratings volume (127 vs 2) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Grid sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and BN sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
BN holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grid has 127 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
