Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WebDAV File Browser at none against GLDrive's 4. WebDAV File Browser also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 days). GLDrive's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
