Invitations can also be sent by email to people without accounts. A grocery-item dictionary and color groups help organize list contents. The Free plan costs nothing and allows 3 shopping lists, sharing with 2 other accounts and 8 color groups. Pro plans add unlimited lists and sharing, additional color groups, an ad-free experience and premium support. They cost $2.99 a month, $29.99 a year or $49.99, paid once. A 30-day trial is listed. Accounts use a login name and PIN, and data is stored in the cloud for access from supported devices or the website. The terms state an average availability target of 97%, excluding maintenance downtime.
