Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: FlashGrid+ at none against Cross Spin's shown. FlashGrid+ also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 12 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Cross Spin's advantage is ratings volume (15 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
