Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CVS at none against Shopper's 4. CVS also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Shopper's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months) and chart position (#180 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
