Plannie vs Superlist: the full comparison.
Superlist is a good shared list from the Wunderlist team, and a fine home for the grocery list. Plannie adds the calendar, the chores, the meals and the kitchen display around it, for one household price.

Superlist prices and platform details from superlist.com and help.superlist.com, checked 18 September 2026. In fairness, Superlist is the better general notes and project tool: lists nest without limit, and the Super plan's AI meeting notes and Slack summaries have no equivalent in Plannie, which is built for the household rather than for work.

The differences that matter
The biggest gap is the calendar. Superlist has none. It can push a dated task out to Google Calendar as an all-day event, but nothing comes back in, so the school run, football practice and the dentist live somewhere else. Plannie puts everyone's days side by side in a colour per member, with two-way Google and Outlook sync, and that is on the free plan.
Superlist treats a chore as a list item, which works until a seven-year-old asks what they get for doing it. Plannie's chores pay out tickets that kids trade for rewards you set. Dinner gets the same treatment: a weekly meal grid, a recipe library and a grocery list fed by both. The Plannie Assistant reads the forwarded school email or the photo of the flyer and files it under the right child, where Superlist's AI is aimed at meeting notes and Slack threads.
Superlist bills per person. Its free plan is generous enough for a small household, but once you want more than five lists, four people on Basic is $236 a year. Plannie Premium is $99 a year for the whole household, however many people join, and it includes kiosk mode for the tablet on the kitchen wall.
Choose Superlist if…
You want a well-made shared list and notes app that works for the household and for work, from a Berlin company with a GDPR-framed privacy policy. Your calendar already lives happily in Google and you don't need chores, meals or a wall display. The free plan may be all you ever need.
Choose Plannie if…
You want the calendar, the chores, the meals and the lists in one place, with a colour per family member and the kids earning tickets for what they finish. You'd rather pay $99 a year for the whole household than $59 a seat, and put the old iPad on the kitchen wall in kiosk mode.
Frequently asked
Is Superlist good for families?+
For shared lists, yes. The free plan gives you five lists with up to five people in each, unlimited tasks and notes, and subtasks that nest as deep as you like, which covers a grocery list and a chores list for most households. What it doesn't have is a calendar: dated tasks can be pushed out to Google Calendar, but Google events never show up inside Superlist, so it can't be the family's schedule.
Does Superlist have a calendar view?+
No. Superlist has no calendar inside the app. Its one calendar feature sends dated tasks out to Google Calendar as all-day events (30-minute blocks for timed tasks), with title and date changes syncing both ways. Outlook, Apple Calendar and ICS feeds aren't documented. Plannie has day, week, 4-day, month and agenda views with a colour per member, two-way Google and Outlook sync, and Apple Calendar or any ICS feed as a subscribed calendar, all on the free plan.
How much does Superlist cost for a family of four?+
The free plan is $0 and fits a small household. Paid plans are per person: Basic is $59/year each, so four people pay $236/year, or $708 over three years. Super, with the AI meeting notes and chat, is $249/year each. Plannie Premium is $99/year for the whole household, however many members, which is $297 over three years.
Can Superlist do chores and rewards for kids?+
Not as a feature. Superlist's homepage suggests sharing chores as ordinary list items, and tasks can repeat and be assigned to someone. There are no tickets, points or rewards, and no child accounts. Plannie's chores give each kid tickets for what they finish, and they trade those tickets for rewards you set.
Superlist vs Plannie for a shared grocery list?+
Both do it well. Superlist lists nest infinitely and sync with everyone who has access. Plannie's lists nest too, in a document-style editor that syncs live between devices, and the grocery list is wired into the meal grid: paste a recipe link and the ingredients land on the list in one click.
