Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Grocery Sidekick at none against OnlyDrams's shown. Grocery Sidekick also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). OnlyDrams's advantage is chart position (#29 vs #193) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
