Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GT at 4.1 against Onewheel's 3.5. Onewheel's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (987 vs 100). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
GT holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Onewheel has 987 ratings behind it against 100, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of Onewheel's written reviews are positive against 21% of GT's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Onewheel ships an update fortnightly, GT every 8 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
