Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GRADegy at none against WordSprout's 1. GRADegy also leads on ratings volume (35 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). WordSprout's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
