Buy Me a Pie! vs Listek

Buy Me a Pie! is a shopping-list service for making, organizing and sharing lists across Android, iOS, macOS and the web. Website lists appear on users’ devices in real time, and people can keep lists synchronized by sharing an account or inviting others to specific lists. 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.

Listek is a free grocery-list app for iOS and Android that groups products into supermarket categories and adds shopping insights. Shared lists can be edited in real time across iPhone and Android, and separate lists can be kept for different stores. The app can review a full list with a Nutri-Score, an AI summary and suggested food swaps. Users can set goals such as weight management, higher protein, reduced sugar or lower-carb eating. Allergy and sensitivity filters can flag products for closer attention, but they do not scan exact packaging or detect cross-contamination; warnings and AI guidance may be incomplete or inaccurate and are not medical advice. Listek also offers weekly and three-month shopping insights, a daily recipe suggestion based on recent shopping, saved frequently used items, loyalty-card storage and non-food checklists. It does not map items to a store’s physical aisles. The app is free to download, with grocery-list creation and organisation included; additional features may be available in the app.
