Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Gift List at 5.0 against Grata's 4.3. Gift List also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Grata's advantage is ratings volume (427 vs 2) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
