The clearest difference is rating: Drawing Grid Maker + at 5.0 against Graph Paper Pro's 4.4. Drawing Grid Maker + also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Graph Paper Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months).

Both are free to download. Graph Paper Pro sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Drawing Grid Maker + sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
