How we ranked

A meal plan is required. Then the things that make planning stick: a grocery list from the plan, sharing it, sending it to delivery, cooking from what you have, nutrition, and planning from a laptop or an Android phone.

  • To qualify, an app must have “Meal plan” (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 8 features: Meal plan, Grocery list, Shared with a household, Send the list to grocery delivery, What can I make from what I have, Nutrition, Android and Web app. Most is 16.
  • 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.
