Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Walker's Link at 4.5 against Gray's Sporting Journal's 1.0. Walker's Link also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 19 months). Gray's Sporting Journal's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
