Hate opening 10 apps and retyping over and over to find that thing you need right now? ShopLocally lets you type once then uses your already installed apps or browser to search across the popular stores to find what you need We believe in privacy first - the advantage of this app is that it uses your own phone's web browser and/or applications to search for what you need, no sign in for this app is required

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Uncrate at none against ShopLocally's 1. Uncrate also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). ShopLocally's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
