Spisko vs Bring!: a free alternative that tracks your pantry
Looking for a Bring! alternative? Spisko is a free shopping list app with no ads and a pantry behind it: what you buy goes into it, and it tells you what's running low before your next trip. Here is how the two compare, feature by feature.

Checked on 5 November 2026 against getbring.com, its help centre and its US App Store listing. An X means their own material shows the feature isn't there; "Not listed on their website" means none of it describes the feature, so the app may still have it. If something here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it.

Frequently asked questions
Can I move my lists from Bring! to Spisko?
As text: copy your items out of Bring!, one per line, and paste them into a Spisko list. Spisko shows what it read, links what is already in your pantry and adds the rest, an amount in front included ("2 milk"). There is no direct import from a Bring! account. Your pantry then builds itself from the first trip.
Does Spisko have offers and recipes like Bring!?
No retailer offers, and no ads. Recipes come with Spisko Plus: import one from a link or paste it in, and only what you're missing goes on your list.
Is Spisko really free?
Yes. Shopping lists, the pantry, sharing with your household, aisle order, barcode scanning and offline use are free, with no ads and no card.
