Best Grocery Price Tracker Apps for Android (2026)

Grocery prices move every week. A grocery price tracker app helps you remember what you paid, spot real deals, and stop guessing whether today's "sale" is actually a good price.

There's no single best app for everyone. Some apps compare prices across stores, some show weekly ads, and some track the prices you personally pay. Here's an honest rundown of good options on Android, starting with ours.

What to look for in a grocery price tracker

• Your own prices: does it remember what you paid, at your stores?
• Fast entry: can you capture a price with the camera, or do you have to type everything?
• Price history: can you see how an item's price changed over time and the lowest price you've paid?
• Works in the store: does it work with a weak signal or offline?
• Privacy and cost: is the core free, and do you need an account?

1. TallyCart: best for tracking the prices you actually pay

TallyCart is a grocery list app with prices for Android. Point your camera at a shelf price tag and the price is added to your list, with the date saved. Over a few trips, TallyCart builds a price history for every item you scan, so you can track grocery prices over time and see the lowest price you've paid.

• Scan shelf price tags instead of typing prices
• A price history for each item you scan, including the lowest price you've paid
• See your cart total with sales tax before checkout
• Snap your receipt to log what you spent
• Free core app with no account required; the optional TallyCart+ plan adds full price history charts and unlimited receipt scans

Best for: shoppers who want their own price book without keeping a spreadsheet. Less useful if you mainly want to browse weekly ads from stores you haven't visited.

2. Flipp: best for weekly ads and flyers

Flipp collects weekly ads and circulars from thousands of retailers in one place. It's great for planning a trip around what's on sale this week. It shows advertised prices, not a history of what you paid.

3. Basket: best for comparing prices between stores

Basket compares the price of your shopping list across nearby stores using shared price data. It's handy when you want to know which store is cheapest for your whole list. Coverage depends on your area.

4. Out of Milk: best for a simple shared shopping list

Out of Milk is a long-running shopping list app. You can add prices to items and see a list total, and it's easy to share a list with your household. It's a shopping list first rather than a price tracker.

5. GroceryChop: best for checking chain prices online

GroceryChop is a free website that compares product prices across many US grocery chains. It works in any browser, so it's handy for a quick check on your Android phone before you shop. It shows store prices, not the prices you've paid.

6. A spreadsheet: the classic price book

A spreadsheet is free and flexible, and many careful shoppers have used one for years. The catch is typing every price by hand and keeping it up to date. If that's where you're stuck, see how to track grocery prices without a spreadsheet.

Which one should you pick?

• Want to know the lowest price you've paid and track grocery prices over time? Try TallyCart.
• Want this week's sales in one place? Try Flipp.
• Want to know which store is cheapest for your list? Try Basket or GroceryChop.
• Just need a shared list? Out of Milk is a solid pick.

Plenty of shoppers use two of these together, for example a flyer app to plan the trip and a price tracker in the store.
