Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: GlucoseGuide at every 4 days against mySugr's fortnightly. GlucoseGuide also leads on iOS requirement (15.0.0 vs 26.2). mySugr's advantage is chart position (#38 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
