Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Silvermere at none against Sainsbury's's shown. Silvermere also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Sainsbury's's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (30% vs 0%). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
