Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Sideways Drift at $2.99 against GRID™ Legends's $14.99. Sideways Drift also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 64%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 weeks). GRID™ Legends's advantage is ratings volume (538 vs 12) and chart position (#13 vs #55). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
