Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ArtBorder at 95% against GR WORLD's 12%. ArtBorder also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.1) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). GR WORLD's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (68 vs 3). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
