Plan.Shop.Cook.
One list, in aisle order
The whole week collapses into a single shopping list, grouped the way you walk the shop, with what each line costs beside it.
Two Stops,Only When It Pays
Real trips, side by side
Lowest total, fewest stops, least waste, stock up, best specials. Each one is a real trip with real stores and real driving, and you pick the one you are willing to make.
Your CompleteMeal Hub
Every recipe in one place
Recipes you write, import, or remix from somebody else's, beside what other households are cooking. Swap any of them into the week and the total and the list follow.
Every MealAlready Costed
Priced where you actually shop
Every basket is costed against the stores in your area, not a national average, so the total on screen is the total you are budgeting for.
Same Week,Three Stores
The same 7 dinners for 4, priced at each store. Only where you shop changes.

A costed week of dinners at your best single store
The shopping list and the pantry
3 swaps and 2 recrafts a week
3 recipes of your own, 5 friends, the whole community feed
No. The free plan works signed out, on the phone or in a browser. An account is what carries your household between the two. On iPhone you can buy CartCraft Plus without one, and signing in later carries it to the web and Android too. Buying in a browser or on Android needs an account, so the subscription has somewhere to live.
Where do the prices come from?
CartCraft carries a grocery catalog and adjusts it to your metro area and to each chain, then costs your actual basket against it. It is an estimate rather than a live till receipt, close enough to plan a budget against, and it is recosted every time the week is crafted.
Yes. A subscription bought in the app or in the browser unlocks both, because it is recorded against your account rather than against the shop that sold it.
Can I cancel?
Any time. A subscription bought on iPhone is managed in the App Store, one bought in the Android app in Google Play, and one bought in the browser from your account page. Cancelling leaves you on the free plan.
What does the free version actually plan?
A full week of dinners, costed against the best single store near you, collapsed into one shopping list in aisle order, with the pantry taken off it first. You get 3 swaps and 2 recrafts a week, three recipes of your own, five friends, the whole community feed to browse and like, and household sharing. The week you are in is the whole horizon.
Does CartCraft order the groceries for me?
No. It decides the meals, works out the packages, picks the stores and costs the basket, then hands you the list to shop. Handing a finished basket straight to a retailer is something we are working towards, not something the app does today.
Can it cook around allergies and things we will not eat?
Yes. One set of rules for the whole table is free. Plus gives everyone their own: gluten free for one, no dairy for another, and the week is planned so every meal works for all of them at once.
Do I have to drive to several shops?
Only if you want to. The free plan is one stop, the best single store for your basket. Plus splits the week across up to eight stores and shows the real trips side by side, lowest total, fewest stops, least waste, so you pick the drive you are actually willing to make.
What happens if I do not fancy a meal?
Swap it, and the list and the total move with it. Recraft the whole week if two or three are wrong. Free covers 3 swaps and 2 recrafts a week, swapping in one of your own recipes is always free on top of that, and Plus makes everything unlimited.
Can I cook my own recipes?
Yes. Write up to three of them free, and Plus grows the book to a hundred. The planner costs them like anything in the catalog, swapping one in never spends a swap, and you can publish them to everyone, to friends, or to people you pick.
Can my partner and I plan from one household?
Yes, and it is free. Add each other as friends, send a household invite, and once it is accepted you are both working on the same week: same meals, same list, same total, on every phone and browser. A subscription stays with the account that bought it.
What is the Founder seat?
Everything in CartCraft Plus for a single payment of $149.99, with nothing to renew, limited to the first 150 people who take one. It is for the households who would rather back this early than pay for it yearly.
