Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mining Flow at none against Garbage Collector's 1. Mining Flow also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Garbage Collector's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
