Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: GreenPath at none against BetterHelp's shown. GreenPath also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). BetterHelp's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months) and chart position (#69 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
