Disappointed

Just like all the other grocery shopping apps on here, it does not do what it claims to do. You cannot scan the groceries as you go for a running total.

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

Free is Clickbait

Can’t do anything without the subscription, so why do you say it’s free? Deleting it was free.

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

Game changer

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!

Thank you!

Beware the free trial

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.

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!

Made grocery shopping so much easier for us

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!

Defeats the purpose

You have to pay to use it. Defeats the purpose if you’re trying to save money

Hey! I have a free and paid version of it. The free version works great for smaller lists and when planing with another partner.

This app has completely transformed my grocery shopping!

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!

Wanted to love it

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.

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

A must for grocery shopping

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

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.

Huge help with budgeting

In this economy, being able to budget and work on a grocery list together with my spouse has been super helpful.

Just downloaded, figuring out how to use

After messing around a bit, I’m starting to figure out how it works. I do wish there was a bit of guidance to help you learn how to navigate the app. Also, when I go into a list, the navigation bar at the bottom disappears and I can’t get back to the Home Screen without exiting and re-entering the app.
This definitely has potential! I’m going to stick with it for now and see how it goes!

Update 8/252025: Have made many updates! New UI, much easier to use and understand the app. Thanks for the feedback! I am currently working on building a 'how to use' section in the settings as well :) I hope to have that out by next week! I will add the navigation bar bug to the list as well (you might be able to get back by swiping left on the screen)!

Very Clean & Practical

This app is super clean and easy to use while becoming an all in one way to keep up with my grocery list and meal prep for each day. I love how easy it is to visit actual store websites to compare pricing and you can even see the macros. 5/5 stars!

Awesome app, more than it seems

Great app for budgeting, especially if you’re trying to bulk, but can even be used to budget for more than just food

Thank you for the support! Next version will make it easier to plan and track your meals!

Please add Instacart !

So far I love it, clean minimalist UI, I am running into an issue though, each time I open the app and get asked to type my email & password. I don’t even get the autofill option.

Also, adding Instacart in the list of stores would be amazingly

Update 4/22/25: Log out issue has been fixed! Thank you! The next update will fix the issue with being logged out after each use and will also add an autofill option. I'll also look further into the Instacart option!
