Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gunner Defense at none against Grid Defense's 1. Gunner Defense also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Grid Defense's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
