BuyBye vs Listek

BuyBye is a shared grocery-list app available on Android, iOS, and the web. People can share lists by link, with changes updating across phones in real time. 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. The maker notes some Android browsers may show a Play Protect warning when installing the web app.

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.
