How we ranked
A pantry is required. Then the ways to fill it and use it: scanning a receipt, recipes from what you have, and the list and plan it feeds.
- To qualify, an app must have “Pantry” (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 6 features: Pantry, Receipt scan, What can I make from what I have, Grocery list, Send the list to grocery delivery and Meal plan. Most is 12.
- 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.
