Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Grimvalor at 91% against Flashback Mobile's 55%. Grimvalor also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (9.8K vs 117). Flashback Mobile's advantage is price ($1.99 vs $5.99) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
