Full tutorial video (subtitles available): http://tallyvideo.lemonskin.net Tally is an application designed to facilitate your shopping. Create a list of products (either manually or by capturing the barcode) and check for errors on the supermarket receipt. It's a fact: when you have to go to the supermarket you need to fill a shopping list. How many times have you tried to keep everything in mind just to realize, upon returning home, you had forgotten a key ingredient for dinner or the cake of next day? Post-its, however, are pretty boring and, without a pen in hand (for example, when you're already going around the shelves), they can't be upgraded in a convenient and practical way. Our smartphone is always with us, then why not use it to make our life easier? Here at Lemonskin we like to go further. Why limit the app to a simple shopping list when it's possible to add tools that can automate the whole shopping process and may help you to verify the correctness of the receipt? There's no need to write all the time "bread, flour, milk, eggs, ..." when we have a camera in our pocket! With Tally creating a list is as simple as frame the finished product barcode (at home) or a new one (in the supermarket). You will need to enter the product name only the first time, from then on the application will learn to associate the correct code to the specific product. No problem if you buy a different brand of yogurt. Tally is capable to associate multiple codes to the same article. One of the most useful features of Tally is the ability to quickly check for errors on the receipt. It's happened to us all to pay a higher-than-expected total and, once at home, realize that a product, advertised as discounted, was instead charged full price. There are mistakes that occur more often than you think, and maybe some supermarket plays a bit around it. Tally has a specific section dedicated to the receipt verification. So you can, in seconds, find the inconsistency and show it to the cashier in order to be immediately reimbursed (or enjoy in case the error occurred is to your advantage). We purposely designed the interface of Tally to be simple and intuitive, but we have included powerful features that simplify your decisions during shopping. If you are not sure you want to buy a particular product but you don't want to take the risk to forget about it, you can have it in the list but disabled. That way it will always be at your fingertips and you can check how much it affects the final cost. Products database is always accessible via a special section and can be easily modified, extended or simplified. This will give you full control over your saved items. Tally, your definitive shopping assistant! :)
Shopping List

Shopping List Ultimate was designed to allow you to list all the items that you buy on a regular basis and organize/order them according to the way you shop/walk through the store. You can reorder the lists by dragging items up/down on their aisle. You can reorder the aisles by dragging them up/down the list within their store. This way, if your brick & mortar store moves an aisle, you can drag that aisle (and all its items) to a new position in the list in one quick and easy motion. It is not only intended to be used for grocery shopping. It should be used for all your shopping needs, including housewares, hardware, clothing, and even medications. A 'store' can be your pharmacy where you buy your prescriptions, or your physician that prescribes your medications. An aisle can be an area or department within a store, or it can be a type of medication, such as blood pressure meds or diabetes meds, with 'items' being each medication that you buy. Shopping List can be used to contain whatever lists you need to create to help you organize and remember the things you need to get or do. In other words, it's whatever you want it to be. Shopping List was also designed to allow you to simply tap on an item to mark it needed and tap again to reset it after it's in the cart. As you toggle an item needed or not, it will change color. The stores and aisles also change color when an item they contain is marked needed. The aisle/item count on each of them also changes to indicate the number of items needed within them. This can be toggled back and forth by tapping on the text. Features: - Drag and Drop ordering (in order of the store layout or whatever suits you) - Clean simple user experience - Tap on Tap off needed items - List for each store you shop at - Move/copy multiple items to other store list - Swipe to delete stores, aisles, and items - Multiple delete items - Also use for To-Do list - Also use for medication list - Completely flexible. Add whatever you want - Backup and Restore your data

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Shopping List at none against Tally's 1. Shopping List also leads on chart position (#14 vs #102). Tally's advantage is price ($4.99 vs $8.99) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
