Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: List Ease at Free against Cart's $2.99. List Ease also leads on ratings volume (53K vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Cart's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 6 weeks). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
