How we ranked
A grocery list is required. Then what helps in the store and at home: a plan that fills it, sharing it, delivery, a pantry, the list on your wrist or Home Screen, and the list on other devices.
- To qualify, an app must have “Grocery list” (Yes, not Partly). Closed apps and general tools like Apple Notes and Notion are left out.
- Score: 2 points for Yes, 1 for Partly, 0 for No, Not found or Coming, over 9 features: Grocery list, Meal plan, Shared with a household, Send the list to grocery delivery, Pantry, Apple Watch, Widgets, Android and Web app. Most is 18.
- Apps with no App Store update since November 2025 go below the ones that are kept up.
- Ties go to the app with more US App Store ratings. Saucepan has none yet, so it goes below any app it ties with.
- “Not found” scores zero: we credit only what an app’s own pages show. That can undercount an app that does more than its pages say.
Saucepan is our app. It is scored from its own feature list by the same rule.
