Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: itison at 85% against Waitrose & Partners's 35%. itison also leads on ads (none vs shown). Waitrose & Partners's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 9) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Waitrose & Partners holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Waitrose & Partners has 1.1K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of itison's written reviews are positive against 35% of Waitrose & Partners's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
itison ships an update fortnightly, Waitrose & Partners weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
