One list for every store: With Meinkaufen, you add each item only once and assign it to every store where you can buy it. While shopping, it automatically appears under the right stores—check it off once, and it is done everywhere. Instead of starting over before every shopping trip, you build a lasting item list. When you need something, simply increase its quantity. Its category, stores, comment, and photos stay there for next time. FOUR VIEWS, ONE LIST - All Items – your complete item list - Checklist – check selected supplies before shopping - Shopping – everything you currently need - Bought – review checked-off items and finish your shopping trip Search finds items by name or comment across your entire list. Filters narrow the current view by store, category, item type, attributes, or text. You can save up to five filter combinations. RECURRING OR ONE-TIME Normal and Checklist items stay on your list for next time. Once you finish a shopping trip, their quantities return to 0. Checklist items also appear in their own view, so you can quickly see what you still have and what is missing before you shop. Add anything you only need once as a One-time item. Once the shopping trip is finished, it is removed and remains recoverable in Recently Deleted for a while. SHOP IN YOUR ORDER Arrange stores and categories around your routine or route. With no store filter selected, Meinkaufen groups your open items by store—in the order you set. When you arrive at a store, simply tap its heading. Meinkaufen applies the corresponding filter and automatically groups your items by category. SHOP TOGETHER—EVEN OFFLINE Share your list via iCloud with your family, partner, or housemates. Changes sync automatically for everyone. The list is also stored locally on your device and remains fully usable without an internet connection. Any changes are synced once you are back online. Sharing is optional; you do not need iCloud or an account to use Meinkaufen on a single device. PRIVATE AND TRACKER-FREE Meinkaufen does not require a user account and contains no analytics or tracking tools. The app operates no servers of its own and sends no data to the developer. When you add photos, they are compressed and any location or camera metadata is removed automatically. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Export your list as a CSV file for further editing or as a PDF for printing and sharing. A complete Meinkaufen backup file also preserves photos, sort orders, saved filters, and supported settings. CSV files and backups can be imported again. Automatic backups and Recently Deleted provide additional protection. MORE FEATURES - Up to five photos and a multi-line comment per item - Flexible quantities, including decimal values - Reminders for unfinished shopping trips - Configurable widgets for different stores and categories - Adjust quantities directly from the Checklist widget - Integration with Siri and Shortcuts - Automatic backups - Light and Dark Mode - Optimized for iPhone and iPad - English and German Meinkaufen manages exactly the shopping list you build—organized, reusable, and without unwanted suggestions.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Meinkaufen at none against ShopPilot's 2. Meinkaufen also leads on ads (none vs shown). ShopPilot's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
