Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Grove Collaborative at 4.8 against ZeroWasteStore's 4.0. Grove Collaborative also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (29K vs 17). ZeroWasteStore's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
