Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Darts Stars at 100% against GranPlayer's 25%. Darts Stars also leads on rating (4.0 vs 2.7) and in-app purchases (none vs 6). GranPlayer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 16 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
