Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Loop Deposit at free against Grove Collaborative's free with in-app purchases. Loop Deposit also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 65%) and device support (3 vs 1). Grove Collaborative's advantage is ratings volume (29K vs 42) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
