Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Granny at none against Block Scout's 1. Granny also leads on ratings volume (101K vs 23) and chart position (#152 vs unranked). Block Scout's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
