Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Bring!

  • Its recipe management is simpler than AnyList or Samsung Food, so it is a weaker choice for someone who wants to build out a recipe collection.
  • It has no smart appliance integration, unlike Samsung Food, so it offers nothing extra for a household with connected kitchen hardware.
  • Store-layout customisation for sorting items is less granular than AnyList offers.
  • The icon-based catalogue, while fast, can be limiting for unusual or specific items not well represented in the illustrated catalogue.
  • The free tier carries ads, which the optional Premium subscription removes.

Memtime

  • No free tier. There is a 14 day trial and after that the cheapest route is €10 a user a month on a two-year commitment, or €15 quarterly.
  • The integrations most buyers arrive for are on Connect, not Basic, so the entry tier is a local tracker with no link to the project software you already run.
  • Desktop only. There is no mobile app, so work done away from the computer has to be entered by hand.
  • Local-only storage is the product's point and also its limit: there is no central view for a manager, and a lost or wiped machine takes its timeline with it.
  • Tracking is at five or six minute granularity rather than to the second, which is right for reconstructing a day and wrong for anyone billing in one-minute units.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Bring!: Is Bring! free?

Yes, the core shared shopping list function is free; Premium is optional and adds cosmetic and convenience extras.

Memtime: Does Memtime send my activity data to a server?

No. Activity is stored locally on the device that recorded it and never reaches a server, which is the basis of the product's "built for privacy" positioning and why no manager console exists.
