Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Kauli at none against ShoppingList's shown. Kauli also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.5). ShoppingList's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
