Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: THROO Drivers at 4.8 against GroundPad's 3.3. THROO Drivers also leads on review sentiment (39% vs 10%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). GroundPad's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
