How we ranked
Sharing with a household is required. Then a shared list and plan, and what makes it work for everyone: Android and the web for people on other devices, a free plan so no one has to pay, and delivery.
- To qualify, an app must have “Shared with a household” (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 7 features: Shared with a household, Grocery list, Meal plan, Android, Web app, Free plan and Send the list to grocery delivery. Most is 14.
- 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.
