Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: GeriKit at free against GRS 12th Edition's subscription. GeriKit also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (13.2 vs 15.6). GRS 12th Edition's advantage is ratings volume (58 vs 11). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
