Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Earonman at Free against Gridplay's $1.99. Earonman also leads on rating (3.0 vs 2.4) and review sentiment (50% vs 36%). Gridplay's advantage is ratings volume (77 vs 4) and iOS requirement (11.3 vs 15.1). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
