The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Shared Grocery List at none against Owlist's 5. Shared Grocery List also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 17.6). Owlist's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
