What makes HopDrop different
- A board, not a checklist Drag items to “Got it” or “We’re out”. It’s built for one hand, mid-aisle.
- A pantry that restocks itself Finish a list and everything you bought lands in the pantry, split into fridge, freezer and pantry. Run out, and it’s back on the list.
- To-dos linked to groceries Plan the party, the move or the weekend on shared to-do lists. A shopping task gets its own grocery list and ticks itself off when the shopping’s done.
- Made for every household iPhone and Android in the same home, 25 languages with right-to-left support, and no ads on any plan.

Questions about switching
Can I move my Listonic lists to HopDrop?
There’s no direct import. HopDrop’s autocomplete fills in the item, its category and an emoji as you type, and it learns your regulars — so rebuilding a list takes a minute or two.
What does HopDrop do that Listonic doesn’t?
It keeps a pantry that restocks itself from what you buy, suggests recipes from what you already have — including ones just one ingredient away — runs shared to-do lists that link to your groceries, and reminds you when you pass a shop that sells something on your list. And there are no ads, even on the free plan.
Is HopDrop free?
Yes — free forever with one shopping list and one to-do list, and no ads, ever. HopDrop Pro unlocks unlimited lists and live sharing, and one plan covers your whole household. It starts with a 7-day free trial.
Does HopDrop work on Android?
Yes. HopDrop is on the App Store (iOS 17 or later) and Google Play (Android 8.0 or later), and one household can mix both.
Does HopDrop show ads?
Never — not on Pro, and not on the free plan. HopDrop is a calm, premium app, and your grocery list isn’t ad space.
