Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Grind Golf at none against Golf Fairfax's shown. Grind Golf also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). Golf Fairfax's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
