Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GS at 4.5 against EXO's 1.8. GS also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (36% vs 16%). EXO's advantage is iOS requirement (13 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
