OpenApp is your personal store — one that builds itself. Every purchase becomes part of your store, neatly organized and always within reach. Buy a coffee, a jacket, or a book — your store remembers. It reminds you what to buy again and recommends products you might like. Online or in-store. It just works. OpenApp. Your Store. It Builds Itself.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: OpenApp at free against Purchasing Power's free with in-app purchases. OpenApp also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Purchasing Power's advantage is ratings volume (32K vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
