BuyBye vs GroceryShare

Items are automatically sorted into grocery categories, and voice entry supports English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Hindi, and Japanese. Users can import recipes with ingredients filed by category, or schedule meals in a planner and send their ingredients to a shopping list. Lists remain available locally, and edits sync when a connection returns. An account is optional when starting a list; it is used for sharing and syncing across phones. The Free plan is free and includes up to five lists, two people per list, five recipes, and current-week meal planning. Pro costs $9.99 a year, billed or $1.99/month, and Pro Family costs $14.99 a year for up to six linked accounts.
