Every Premium feature falls into one of four buckets: the app doing something automatically that you'd otherwise do by hand, a deeper version of something already free, more room, or something that costs us real money every time it runs. Nothing that was ever free has been moved behind the paywall, and nothing ever will be.
The single biggest thing Premium adds. Stores turn a shopping list from "here's what we need" into "here's what we need, where it's cheapest, sorted by where you're standing."
Add the real places you go — the regular grocery store, the warehouse club, the hardware store, the farm stand — each with an optional website link and an address or map link that hands off to real directions.
Stores organize exactly the way lists, recipes and friends already do: favourite the ones you use constantly to pin them to the top, group them ("Grocery", "Warehouse", "Hardware"), drag them into your own order, and search them. A store can be tucked inside a group and hidden from the main view if it's only relevant there.
This is the part that isn't obvious from the words "price tracking". As you shop and record prices, Every-List keeps the most recent price you entered at each store, separately — and then shows them side by side for any item.
So instead of a vague sense that one place is cheaper, you get:
Each price is stamped with how long ago you recorded it in plain language, because a six-month-old price and a three-day-old price are not equally trustworthy and shouldn't look the same.
It's your own recorded history, not a scraped feed or an estimate — which means it's accurate for the actual stores you actually visit, including the small local one no price comparison service has ever heard of.
Any item can be tagged with where it comes from — or left unassigned when it genuinely doesn't matter. A single list can then span a whole errand run: the four things from the hardware store, the fifteen from the grocery store, the two from the pharmacy, all in one place instead of three separate lists you have to remember to check.
Once items know which store they're from, Every-List can do the sorting. Auto Group by Store reads every item's assigned store and clusters the list into one collapsible section per store — so the list reorganizes itself into the order you'll actually shop it.
It never runs on its own, and it never silently rearranges your list. You trigger it from the list's menu, and it shows you exactly what it proposes to change first — you can accept the whole batch, or go item by item and approve only the ones you want.
Typing a price on an item is free on every tier. What's paid is the automation and the maths built on top of it.
Price tracking is a switch on each individual list, off by default — because a honey-do list or a "who's bringing what" list has no business showing price fields on every row. Turn it on for the grocery list and leave it off everywhere else.
On a price-tracking list, checking an item off prompts for what you just paid. That's the whole mechanism — you're already holding the phone and already tapping the item, so capturing the price costs you one number and no extra trip through the app.
It also pre-fills what you last paid for that exact item, so most of the time you're confirming rather than typing.
Say "a gallon of milk and a block of cheddar cheese and two pounds of chicken thighs" and you get three separate items, each with its quantity already filled in — not one long item containing that whole sentence.
You're shown the parsed rows to review and correct before anything is added. Genuinely useful with your hands full, driving home, or standing in front of an open fridge.
Photograph a handwritten shopping list, a printed one, a recipe card, or a page from a cookbook, and it's read into individual rows you review before they're added.
Every account gets three free scans, so you can see whether it works on your handwriting before deciding it's worth paying for. Premium removes the cap. This is metered rather than fully free because each scan has a real per-use processing cost.
The three counted limits in Every-List, all of which exist because storage and bandwidth cost real money every month.
One photo shows what a thing is. Three let you show the front of the package, the size on the label, and where it sits on the shelf — or, on a home inventory, an item from several angles plus its serial number.
Enough for the finished dish plus step-by-step photos of the parts that are hard to describe in words — what the dough should look like, how the fold goes, how thick to slice it.
Basic holds 20 recipes, which comfortably covers a family's rotation of favourites. Premium raises the ceiling to 500 — high enough that it's a safety limit rather than something you'll ever bump into.
Recipes get capped where lists don't because they behave like a collection people accumulate, rather than a working tool. Lists, items and participants stay uncapped on every tier.
Nothing is deleted. Ever. Photos past the free limit stay exactly where they are, they just stop displaying and you can't add more; recipes over 20 stay saved. Resubscribe and everything reappears untouched.
"We deleted your data because you cancelled" is not a thing Every-List will ever do, and freezing instead of deleting costs us nothing.
Lock an individual list behind a passcode, and it can't be opened on your device without entering it.
The important detail is that each list gets its own independent code, set from that list's own settings — this isn't one app-wide PIN protecting everything. So the surprise-party list and the Christmas gift list can each have a different code, and unlocking one doesn't unlock the other.
It's also entirely personal. Locking a list only affects how you see it. If it's a shared list, nobody else's view changes and nobody else is asked for a code — so you can lock a list on your own phone without breaking it for the people you share it with.
$14.99 a year total, not per person. The other five people pay nothing and don't need their own subscription.
You subscribe once, then invite up to five other people from your friends list. Each one gets an invitation they accept or decline — nobody is added silently. From the moment they accept, every Premium feature above is unlocked on their own account, under their own login, with their own lists, recipes, stores and price history.
Being in a household doesn't merge anyone's data or give anyone access to anyone else's lists. It's shared billing, not a shared account — you still share individual lists and recipes deliberately, exactly like anyone else.
As the subscriber you see everyone in your household in one place — members who've accepted and invitations still pending — and can remove someone or cancel an outstanding invitation from there.
From a member's side, their membership screen tells them plainly whose household is covering them, and gives them a way to leave it whenever they want.
The maths is simple: Household costs $5 a year more than a single Premium subscription. If even one other person in your home would want Premium — a partner who does half the shopping, a teenager doing their own errands, a parent you help look after — Household is cheaper than two individual subscriptions.
If it's genuinely only ever you, Premium at $9.99 is the right choice and you can upgrade later without losing anything.
Cancel any time — you keep Premium or Household until the year you already paid for runs out, and nothing you created is ever deleted for cancelling.
