Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Flowery at none against Strain Guide's 4. The Flowery also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (7K vs 930). Strain Guide's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
