Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Organically Grounded at none against Start Stretching's shown. Organically Grounded also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). Start Stretching's advantage is ratings volume (3.5K vs 19). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
