# Grocery List vs Custom Order Tracker

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Custom Order Tracker at none against Grocery List's 23. Custom Order Tracker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Grocery List's advantage is ratings volume (10K vs 3) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Grocery List sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Custom Order Tracker asks for nothing beyond the download.

Custom Order Tracker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grocery List has 10K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 85% of Grocery List's written reviews are positive against 100% of Custom Order Tracker's.

Grocery List ships an update every 5 days, Custom Order Tracker fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
