Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GBN at 5.0 against S.C. Forestry Commission's 4.5. GBN also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 23 months). S.C. Forestry Commission's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 2) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
