CozZo Alternatives (2026): 12 Fridge & Pantry Apps Compared

CozZo has shut down. The company turned off new and renewing paid subscriptions on September 30, 2025, and permanently switched off the cloud servers behind the app on December 30, 2025.^[1] Without those servers the app can no longer sync, store, or restore anything, and it has since been pulled from the App Store.^[2] There is no official data-export tool and no way to migrate a CozZo account to another app — the closure notice from the CozZo team, signed by founder Ivo Dimitrov, thanks users for their support but doesn't offer a recovery path.^[1]

If you were a CozZo user, the practical situation is: your old inventory is gone, and you need to pick a new app and re-enter your fridge, freezer, and pantry from scratch. Below is a factual comparison of 12 apps in the same category, each checked against its own App Store page, Google Play listing, or official site rather than a third party's summary. Every claim links to where it was verified; where we couldn't confirm something, it's marked unknown instead of guessed.

What happened to CozZo, in order

• September 30, 2025 — CozZo stopped selling and renewing paid ("Household Plan") subscriptions.^[1]
• December 30, 2025 — CozZo's cloud infrastructure was permanently shut down; the app can no longer sync or store data and has been removed from the App Store.^[1][2]

CozZo was iOS-only (iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch) and offered a paid household-sharing plan that let multiple people access one inventory.^[1][3]

Comparison table

Five more apps in the same category we also checked — Wonder Fridge, Kigen Log, Skado, Spoilist, and My Pantry Tracker — are covered below, after the main seven.

The apps, one by one

CozZo — discontinued

CozZo was an iOS-only fridge, pantry, and recipe manager with barcode scanning and a paid household-sharing plan.^[3] The company stopped billing new and renewing subscriptions on September 30, 2025, and shut its cloud servers down for good on December 30, 2025.^[1] The app is no longer usable and there is no official way to export or transfer old data.

Fango

Fango is a receipt-first tracker: instead of scanning barcodes, its AI reads a photographed grocery receipt and estimates an expiry date per item.^[4] It runs on both iOS and Android, stores data locally on the device rather than in an account, and offers a one-month free trial before converting to a paid subscription (shown as roughly $2/£2/€2 per month or $20/£20/€20 per year depending on the store region).^[4] Fango is also the publisher of the "CozZo App Alternatives" article that currently dominates search results for this topic — see the Sources section for how that article's own claims checked out.

NoWaste

NoWaste covers fridge, freezer, and pantry lists with several ways to add items: barcode scan, a photographed receipt, AI photo recognition, and a text/voice AI assistant.^[5] The free tier caps out at 6 inventory lists and 500 items; NoWaste Pro removes those limits and unlocks a larger barcode database for $6.99/year or a $29.99 lifetime purchase.^[5] The App Store listing covers iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision; an Android app (`com.nowaste.ai`) is also published on Google Play, though we could not confirm whether its pricing and feature set match the iOS version exactly.^[6]

KitchenPal

KitchenPal combines pantry tracking with a barcode scanner (claimed 5M+ products), real-time shared shopping/kitchen lists, and meal planning.^[7] Its current App Store listing shows a free tier (100-item cap) and premium tiers at $2.99/month, $11.99/year, or a $29.99 lifetime purchase ($39.99 for a family lifetime package); the listing states the app carries no ads.^[7] Note: at least one third-party comparison site lists different, likely outdated KitchenPal prices ($3.99/mo, $14.99/yr) — we're going with the figures on the live App Store listing.

Fridgely

Fridgely lets you scan a barcode or a grocery receipt to add items, and supports inviting family members or roommates to a shared inventory.^[9] The official site presents it as an iOS app; Google Play also lists apps under the Fridgely name, but under at least two different developer package IDs with inconsistent update histories — one hasn't been updated since 2023 — so we can't confirm current Android availability or parity with the iOS version.^[10] Pricing isn't stated on the official site; one regional App Store listing shows a small in-app purchase (around £2.49) without a clear billing period.

BEEP

BEEP tracks expiry dates via barcode/QR scan and is built around inviting others (by email or phone) to track a shared set of products — positioned more like a small-team tool than a household app, and it's also marketed to retailers.^[11] Free use covers up to 50 products across the whole team; Premium removes that cap, starting at $7.99/month and dropping to roughly $4.99/month if paid annually ($59.99/year).^[11] The App Store listing describes the app as ad-free, while BEEP's own pricing page lists an "ad-free experience" as one of the things Premium adds — we've flagged that as a discrepancy rather than picking one.^[12]

Expireless

Expireless tracks fridge, freezer, pantry, and medicine-cabinet inventory across iOS, Android, web, and Telegram. Items can be added manually, by barcode, by scanning a receipt (including multi-photo receipts), by photographing a product or the inside of the fridge, by voice, from a shopping list, or imported from a recipe. Core tracking — manual inventory, expiry alerts, and a shopping list for one household and up to four storage locations — is free with no ads. Paid tiers cover AI input (receipt/photo/voice scanning), unlimited households and locations, medicine-course reminders, and shared access: Pro is $4.99/month or $34.99/year, Family is $54.99/year for two full accounts, and a separate Family Members add-on ($2.99/month) gives up to five people shared shopping-list and medication-reminder access without a paid seat each. Expireless is the app behind this article.

Other apps in the category

Five more fridge/pantry apps came up in the same search space. We checked each against its own store listing; details are thinner here because less information is published.

Wonder Fridge

Wonder Fridge supports barcode scanning, receipt scanning, and AI photo recognition to add items, plus real-time family sync, on both iOS and Android.^[13][14] Free with in-app purchases; Premium is $1.99/month or $16.00/year.^[13] At least one App Store review reports persistent ads on the free tier, which we mention as a user report rather than a confirmed fact.

Kigen Log

Kigen Log uses an AI scanner that reads expiration dates from a photo, and doubles as a medicine-cabinet tracker with dose-style alerts.^[15] It's iOS-only as far as we could find — no Android listing turned up. Data is stored locally with no account required. The free tier caps at 15 tracked items; paid tiers are priced in Brazilian Real (its App Store listing is region-specific) at R$12.90–19.90/month, R$99.90/year, or a R$229.90 lifetime purchase.^[15]

Skado

Skado's distinguishing feature is adding items by voice or a recorded audio message rather than typing or scanning; it also supports sharing products, shopping lists, and templates with family members, on both iOS and Android.^[16][17] It's free with in-app purchases; we couldn't confirm an exact premium price from the store listing.

Spoilist

Spoilist tracks expiry with a database of 400+ common grocery items and their typical shelf life, and recently added barcode scanning.^[18] It's iOS-only, free with in-app purchases (Premium listed at €2.99), and its App Store listing shows its most recent update in March 2024 — noticeably older than the other apps here.

My Pantry Tracker

My Pantry Tracker adds items via barcode scan against a UPC database and is available on iOS, Android, and as a web app.^[19][20] The free tier covers one pantry location and one shopping list; a Cloud subscription ($5.99 per 6 months or $9.99/year) adds multi-device sync, unlimited locations/lists, and removes ads — implying the free tier carries ads, though the listing doesn't say so directly.^[19] Sharing is presented as cross-device sync for one user's own account rather than explicit multi-person household sharing.

What we couldn't verify

Two names sometimes mentioned alongside this category — "FridgeScan" and "Expired.Food" — didn't resolve to a single, unambiguous app under those exact names; several similarly-named but distinct apps exist instead (e.g. "Fridge Scanner," "Fridge Inventory & AI Scan"). We left them out rather than guess which one was meant.
