Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Grasside at 5.0 against Polestar's 4.4. Grasside also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Polestar's advantage is ratings volume (3.5K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
