Where each one falls short

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

FigJam

  • Organization and Enterprise tiers are billed annually only, with no monthly billing option
  • Free Starter plan caps AI credit usage at 150 credits per day and 500 per month, well below the 3,000 monthly AI credits on a Professional full seat

Samsung Food

  • The appliance integration, its most distinctive feature, is only useful to someone who owns compatible Samsung kitchen hardware.
  • The rebrand from Whisk to Samsung Food in 2023 means older references, saved links or bookmarks under the Whisk name can confuse returning users.
  • As a Samsung ecosystem product, its long-term roadmap is tied to Samsung hardware strategy rather than to the grocery list feature on its own.
  • Recipe import from arbitrary websites and social media can be inconsistent depending on how a source page is structured.
  • It lacks some of the granular list customisation, such as manual sorting by store aisle, that dedicated list apps like AnyList and Bring focus on.
