Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: -Swamp- at none against Grid's 1. -Swamp- also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). Grid's advantage is ratings volume (15 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
