Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: OurPantry at none against Tally's 2. OurPantry also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.5). Tally's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 15) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tally sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. OurPantry asks for nothing beyond the download.
Tally holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tally has 1.8K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 61% of Tally's written reviews are positive against 57% of OurPantry's.
Tally ships an update every 3 weeks, OurPantry every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
