Make a list. Shop a little wiser. Shopwiser is a shopping list app for your weekly groceries, household essentials, and everything in between. Organize items into sections, share lists with the people you shop for, and keep shopping offline. After the shop, scan your receipt to keep what you paid. Price history and spending insights give your next shopping list a little more context. HOW IT WORKS 1. Make a list for your next shop and organize it into sections. 2. Shop together, tick off items, and keep going without a connection. 3. Scan a receipt when you want to save the trip and remember your prices. WHAT YOU GET - Organized lists: group groceries into sections, tick them off, and find completed items in Got it. - Scan to add: scan a product barcode to add recognized products to your list. - Shared lists: plan with the people you shop for. - Lists for your routine: icons, colors, pinning, and hiding. - Offline lists: keep shopping without a connection and sync when you reconnect. - Receipt scanning: save items, prices, and totals without entering each line. - Price history: see what you paid for an item, where, and when. - Spending insights: explore your spending by date, store, and aisle. - Nutrition labels: compare available facts for foods in your purchase history. - Receipt history: revisit past trips organized by month. FREE TO USE Receipt scanning, spending insights, and sync require an account and a connection. Receipt scans have a free allowance, shown in the app. Sharing your receipt prices with other Shopwiser shoppers is on by default and gives you a higher allowance. You can turn sharing off in Privacy & Permissions; this stops future contributions. Prices already shared remain in the shared data. YOUR CHOICES Usage analytics are optional and exclude list content, item names, prices, barcodes, and location. Price sharing is a separate setting. Publishing prices and receipt photos to the public Open Prices database is another separate choice, off unless you enable it, and does not affect your scan allowance. Auto-Pick Store compares your location with your saved stores on your phone. Your GPS coordinates stay on the device.

Verdict

Actions For Obsidian's advantage is ratings volume (40 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
