Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Match Chain at none against MindGrid's 4. Match Chain also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.5). MindGrid's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 months vs every 27 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
