Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Trolley at 100% against Sainsbury's's 30%. Trolley also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). Sainsbury's's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (776 vs 4). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Sainsbury's holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sainsbury's has 776 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Sainsbury's's written reviews are positive against 100% of Trolley's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
