Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: NB Shopping at free against Grove Collaborative's free with in-app purchases. NB Shopping also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). Grove Collaborative's advantage is ratings volume (30K vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
