Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: PaddleStack at none against The Grove Pickleball's shown. PaddleStack also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). The Grove Pickleball's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and ratings volume (133 vs 12). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
