Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Grid Split at 4.8 against SwipePano's 1.0. Grid Split also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). SwipePano's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
