Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BarrelBage at none against Grayland's 1. BarrelBage also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 8 months). Grayland's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On price there is nothing between them.
