The clearest difference is rating: Grow Smart® Live at 4.3 against Guide Mobile for iPhone's 2.6. Grow Smart® Live also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). Guide Mobile for iPhone's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
