Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores cranberry sauce at a serving of 1 tbsp (about 20 g); at 2+ tbsp (added sugar/fructose at larger servings) it belongs in the high band. A source quoting the larger serve will call it high, and one quoting the smaller will call it low — the same food, measured at two different amounts.
