Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Grocery List at 4.1 against LockNotes's 2.7. Grocery List also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Grocery List holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 101 and 29 respectively.

Grocery List ships an update daily, LockNotes every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
