Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Rocket Stores at none against King Soopers's shown. Rocket Stores also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (29% vs 10%). King Soopers's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (91K vs 2K). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
