Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: EVAC at 4.8 against Grid Ranger's 3.5. EVAC also leads on review sentiment (76% vs 67%) and ratings volume (10 vs 2). Grid Ranger's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 9 months). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
