Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Grid Split at 4.8 against PasteUp's 1.0. Grid Split also leads on ratings volume (8 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.2). PasteUp's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
