Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Grow at none against ACTS2's shown. Grow also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (594 vs 12). ACTS2's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
