Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: DAL at none against Griddle's shown. DAL also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Griddle's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly) and chart position (#104 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
