Read full description

Grocery turns your shopping list into a smart, shared shopping assistant. Built for households and roommates who split the shopping, it keeps everyone in sync in real time — and helps you spend less while you're at it. SHARE LISTS IN REAL TIME Create as many lists as you need and invite family or roommates to shop together. Every add, check-off, and edit syncs instantly, so nobody shows up to the store with an outdated list. A live activity feed shows exactly who changed what. SCAN PRICE TAGS, INSTANTLY Point your camera at a price tag and let Grocery read it for you. It recognizes item names, member pricing, discounts, and per-unit pricing right off the shelf — no typing required. Save every scan to your price history so you always know what you paid last time. TRACK YOUR SPENDING Every scan builds a price history with trend charts, so you can see whether that "sale price" is actually a good deal. Browse, search, and compare prices across stores and trips. PRICE & UNIT CALCULATOR Compare two products side by side — per kg, per lb, per liter, per ounce — and instantly see which one is the better value. SMART STORE ROUTES Shop in the most efficient order. Grocery automatically groups your list by store section (produce, dairy, meat, and more), following a built-in warehouse-style layout — or build your own custom route. SPENDING INSIGHTS See your shopping trends over time — what you're buying most, and where your money is going. FLEXIBLE, YOUR WAY Organize items with built-in and custom categories, keep quick-add shortcuts for your most-purchased items, and get notified the moment a partner adds something new to a shared list. Sign in securely with Google or Apple. Your lists, your history, your pace. Grocery — smart grocery lists, made easy.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: KMC Smart at none against Grocery's 1. KMC Smart also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). Grocery's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 11 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
