Which one should you pick?
Honestly, use both. DeutschAkademie's sheer exercise volume is unbeatable for slow, steady drill practice across every grammar topic.
But before a real TELC or Goethe test, you need to train under exam conditions — 60 minutes, timer running, no help. That's exactly what GrammatikDe does, and it tells you after which grammar topics you still need to revise.
Think of DeutschAkademie as your gym (volume training) and GrammatikDe as your match day (simulation + feedback).
