Grocery is the smartest and fastest grocery shopping app. Keep your list sorted while you shop with your Apple Watch. Easily add items from Siri and Recipes. ** App Store App of the Day - January 23rd 2021** ** MacStories Must-Have iOS Apps - 2018 ** "Extra navigational steps, like remembering where you are in a list or backtracking through a store because of the order on paper, can really push a person over the edge if going to the store is their current 'Impossible Task'. They might opt for leaving with only half of their items, or just not go at all…which can project this task into the future, always a little unfinished or uncertain. Grocery reduces steps needed in the moment, and provides that little bit of joy every time an item is checked off the list in the UI. Knowing that I just made the future better, by going to the store and checking things off the list and improving the sorting algorithm! This is actually a huge relief: reduced doomsday feelings because I know that future store runs are going to be even easier/better because of what I did today (yay positive agency)!" - Amelia W. - Key Features - • Share your lists with partners and add items to your list on iCloud! • Grocery keeps your list in Reminders so sharing a list is as simple as sharing your calendar. • Checking items off your list on Apple Watch is lightning fast. • Create Recipes in Grocery for quickly adding ingredients to your shopping list, and a cooking experience optimized for mobile. • Always know what items are in your pantry and when they expire with Inventory Tracking! - Reminders - • Add items to your list on Mac or iCloud Reminder's apps • Share your list by sharing a Reminder's list with others - Siri - • Tell Siri: "Add Eggs to my Grocery list" • Create Siri Shortcuts to quickly add groups of items - Lightning Fast - • Custom auto-complete with your list items and notes - Sorting - • Grocery learns every time you shop • Keeps track of the order you mark off items to sort your list next time - Multiple Stores - • Add a Store for every place that you shop • Associate lists with stores based on how you want to shop at multiple locations • Assign geofences that change the selected store wherever you go - Recipes - • Recipe files are stored in iCloud Drive and sync between all your devices • Innovative Markdown Recipe format optimized for cooking on mobile phones • Automatically detects timers in recipe steps - CleanUp - • “12 oz of Chocolate Chips” becomes “Chocolate Chips: 12 oz” • Detect multiple or duplicated items - CoreML - • CleanUp can use a custom CoreML model to recognize item titles and notes - Backup & Data - • Your list is always stored in Reminders for easy backup or access outside of Grocery • Grocery will never modify your other Reminders lists - Quick Add - • Quick Add uses your shopping history to suggest items you frequently shop for. • It's great for adding frequently shopped for items to your grocery list. - iPad - • Grocery supports split view for Recipes, so cooking on your iPad works better than ever • iCloud syncing makes creating a shopping list on your iPad super easy Premium Features: • Households share your stores, shopping history, planned recipes, pantry status, and all premium features with family members! • Keep track of all the items in your pantry • Automatic expiration and replenishment settings Grocery Premium is charged to your iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DopaFlow at 5.0 against Grocery's 4.5. Grocery's advantage is ratings volume (4.8K vs 1) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Grocery sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and DopaFlow sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
DopaFlow holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grocery has 4.8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Grocery ships an update every 2 months, DopaFlow every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
