Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: GRIDZILLA at daily against Flow Free's every 7 months. GRIDZILLA also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 82%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Flow Free's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flow Free sells 18 one-off in-app purchases and GRIDZILLA sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
GRIDZILLA holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flow Free has 13K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 82% of Flow Free's written reviews are positive against 100% of GRIDZILLA's.
Flow Free ships an update every 7 months, GRIDZILLA daily. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
