Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pantry Check at 81% against CanopyApp's 33%. Pantry Check also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 5). CanopyApp's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
