The call

The clearest difference is price: Granny at Free against Kiln's $0.99. Granny also leads on chart position (#176 vs unranked). Kiln's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On review sentiment, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
