Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Grainient at none against Gradientor's shown. Grainient also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Gradientor's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.2). On price, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
