Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Simple Collage at none against Grid Camera's 1. Simple Collage also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.1). Grid Camera's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
