Basemark® GPU is a multi-platform, multi-API 3D-graphics benchmark. It enables a comparison of the graphics performance of different smartphones and tablets. You can even compare the performance to Notebooks or PCs. The desktop version runs an AAA quality game-like workload by default, but also offers a test identical to the mobile version in this app. Basemark GPU also allows the user to compare their device to others around the world. For that, this free version of the benchmark always submits test scores to the Basemark Power Board web service. If you need a Basemark GPU license for a commercial usage please contact us. To circumvent VSync limitations on mobile devices, we render each benchmark frame off-screen and display only a miniature image of each frame on the screen. This way we can make sure that no frame is dropped, and the results are accurate. If you want to see the graphics in full glory, please choose Experience Mode.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Basemark GPU at Free against Diskio's $5.99. Basemark GPU also leads on ads (none vs shown). Diskio's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months) and rating (3.9 vs 3.6). On review sentiment, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
