Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Grid.works at 100% against Google Admin's 9%. Grid.works also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.7) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). Google Admin's advantage is ratings volume (486 vs 5) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
