Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Redpost at 76% against Sainsbury's's 30%. Redpost also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Sainsbury's's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (773 vs 6). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement 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 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sainsbury's has 773 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Sainsbury's's written reviews are positive against 76% of Redpost'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, Redpost every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
