Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Giftly Now at none against Group Gift Lists's 9. Giftly Now also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). Group Gift Lists's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
