Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Crewz at Free against Grain+'s $0.99. Crewz also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.2). Grain+'s advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days) and chart position (#82 vs unranked). On ratings volume, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
