Cartplate links a household pantry, weekly meal plan, and grocery list so users are less likely to buy items they already own. Add pantry staples, plan meals on a weekly calendar, and let the shopping list omit ingredients already on hand. After cooking, marking a meal complete removes its ingredients from the pantry so the next list can reflect what remains. The grocery list can use a built-in catalog and sort items by aisle. Cartplate says pantry and grocery-list basics are free and do not require an account; recipes and meal planning require Pro. Pro is $2.99 per month or $29.99 per year, while Family is $4.99 per month or $49.99 per year for up to six people; the first month is free. Data stays on the device and syncs through the user's iCloud account, according to the developer.
