Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Braix at none against Grocery List with Sync's shown. Braix also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). Grocery List with Sync's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
