Pick Firestore if…
Firestore suits developers building AI, web, or mobile applications who need a managed document database. It is also relevant to teams needing real-time client updates or offline syncing.
Pick GRDB.swift if…
GRDB.swift is aimed at Swift developers who need SQLite storage, query and record APIs, schema migrations, or database observation. Developers targeting Linux should account for its contributor-provided, unmaintained support.
