Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: GameFly at none against Grover's shown. GameFly also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (9.9K vs 877). Grover's advantage is review sentiment (64% vs 37%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for GameFly against 4.8 for Grover. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GameFly has 9.9K ratings behind it against 877, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 37% of GameFly's written reviews are positive against 64% of Grover's.
