Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Krónan at none against Sainsbury's's shown. Sainsbury's's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (776 vs 22). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sainsbury's has 776 ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Sainsbury's's written reviews are positive against 33% of Krónan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Sainsbury's ships an update every 2 weeks, Krónan fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
