AnyList vs mitlist

AnyList helps people make shared shopping lists, organize recipes, and plan meals. Lists provide autocomplete, automatic grocery categorization, and instant updates for collaborators; users can also create task, packing, and other custom lists. Recipes can be collected, searched by name or ingredient, and turned into shopping-list items. Imports from recipe sites and blogs are limited to five on the free plan, while Complete offers unlimited imports. The meal calendar supports recipes and notes and can produce a grocery list for selected dates. Items can be added with Siri or Alexa, and online shopping is available through services including Instacart, Walmart, Kroger, Safeway, Albertsons, Amazon Fresh, and H-E-B. Lists and recipes sync across signed-in devices, with account data backed up in the cloud. AnyList runs on Android, iOS, macOS, web, and as an extension. The free plan covers core list creation and sharing. AnyList Complete costs $9.99/yr for an individual or $14.99/yr for a household, and includes Mac and web apps, meal planning, and premium features.

mitlist is a shared household organizer for people who live together, bringing shared lists, rotating chores, expenses and settlements, recipes, meal plans, a pinwall, and a calendar into one service. Household members can update shopping lists in real time, claim items, track prices, and sort a shopping trip around the store. Expenses can be divided equally, by shares, percentages, or exact amounts. Users can save recipes, plan a week, change servings, and add ingredients to a shopping list. During public beta, iOS and Android users can scan printed or handwritten grocery lists, with recognition and grocery matching running on the device. mitlist caches household information and queues many edits when a connection drops, though offline coverage is still being improved. It is available on Android, iOS, and the web, and can be self-hosted with PostgreSQL and an S3-compatible object store. The free plan includes all features for up to four household members. Premium costs €3.99 a month or €29.99 a year for one household of five or more members.
