You cannot scan the groceries as you go for a running total. **Developer response:** Hi! We do not say you are able to scan items and add them to the list. We say you are able to add items from stores to the list ### 1/5 — Free is Clickbait *2026-03-28* Can’t do anything without the subscription, so why do you say it’s free? Deleting it was free. **Developer response:** 1. Can work on a list with another user for free 2. Can add unlimited items manually to a list 3. Can add up to 10 items with the pricing to a free tier list ### 5/5 — Game changer *2026-03-24* As a grad student who needs to keep their budget at the forefront, Plateful has been an absolute game changer in the world of grocery list budgeting. The app is consistently being updated with useful tools that are direct responses to user feedback and is only being made better by it. Highly recommend using it if budgeting for groceries is something you do often or would like to start doing. This is a great start! **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 2/5 — Beware the free trial *2026-02-22* It will actually charge your card when it says “no payment due today”. I hope I like the app because apparently I just subscribed. I’m still going to try it, that was just a surprise. Will update the review with an actual opinion later. **Developer response:** Hi! Sorry about this, the yearly one has the free trial tag around it while the monthly one does not. Which option did you pick? Please send me an email to elias@platefulapp.com as well if you are not happy and I can work on getting you a refund! ### 5/5 — Made grocery shopping so much easier for us *2025-09-30* My wife and I started using Plateful recently, and it’s made grocery trips so much smoother. We can both add items to the same list in real time, so nothing gets forgotten. It’s also helped us stick to our budget and cut down on random impulse buys. Super simple, clean, and actually useful! ### 1/5 — Defeats the purpose *2025-09-17* You have to pay to use it. Defeats the purpose if you’re trying to save money **Developer response:** Hey! I have a free and paid version of it. The free version works great for smaller lists and when planing with another partner. ### 5/5 — This app has completely transformed my grocery shopping! *2025-09-11* Plateful is the only grocery app I've found that shows REAL-TIME PRICES from multiple stores. I can build my list from Walmart, Target, and other stores all in one place and see exactly how much I'll spend before I even leave the house. The interface is clean and modern. No more guessing at prices or forgetting items. This has saved me both time and money every week! Perfect for families, roommates, or anyone who wants to shop smarter. Highly recommend! ### 3/5 — Wanted to love it *2025-09-09* Unfortunately I found that it didn’t have the functionality it was presented as having, and that even deleting my account posed issues. I’ll eventually subscribe again once the bugs are worked out, but I don’t think it’s ready yet. Great idea but the execution still needs work. **Developer response:** Hi Steph, thanks for this feedback! I’ll look into the deleting account issue. What were some of the bugs and functionality missing from the app that you expected? Please reach out to elias@platefulapp.com ### 5/5 — A must for grocery shopping *2025-08-25* I love that it has all of the grocery stores I shop at and I can easily add things to my list. I definitely spent less than I planned between 2 different stores so that’s a win! I do have a suggestion on making a back button in the app to get back to the previous page when browsing a store. Definitely would recommend **Developer response:** Thank you for the support! I’m glad it helped you save in between stores! That’s a great idea, adding that to my “to-do” list. ### 5/5 — Huge help with budgeting *2025-08-10* In this economy, being able to budget and work on a grocery list together with my spouse has been super helpful. **Developer response:** thank you for the support! ## Frequently asked questions about Plateful ### What does Plateful do?
