Verdict
The clearest difference is price: GrusHome at Free against GetVPN's $5.99. GrusHome also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.4) and ads (none vs shown). GetVPN's advantage is ratings volume (23 vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days). On in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
