Listek vs Pepperjack

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.

Pepperjack is an iPhone grocery-list app for households that coordinate shopping. Members can add items to shared lists, with additions and check-offs syncing across shoppers’ devices. Items can also be entered from a photo of a recipe, receipt, or handwritten list. The Free plan costs nothing and includes two lists, unlimited guests, shared lists, and real-time sync. Plus adds smart suggestions, suggested aisles, predicted shelf prices, smart categories, and Live Activities. Aisle suggestions and estimated prices are available at supported Walmart, H-E-B, Kroger, and Meijer locations in the US, with coverage varying. Pepperjack requires iOS 18 or later and is not currently available for Android. Users sign in with Apple or a phone number, and lists sync through Pepperjack’s secure backend. The app says it does not sell personal data or show ads, and that contacts and location stay on the device. Eligible subscribers can try Base free for 14 days. Paid plans include Monthly at $899 a month, Annual at $5,999 a year, and Lifetime at $199, paid once; each includes Plus features and Apple Family Sharing.
