APP COMPARISON
Mandje vs Spaartje
A young grocery app that matches your list to products with AI and shows per product which supermarket is cheapest.
In short: Mandje wins. Spaartje asks the same question, where is my list cheapest, and has a few more chains. Mandje gives the more reliable answer: price per unit so pack sizes compare fairly, price history, alerts on favourites, no account, and a higher rating in both stores.
Winner
Mandje
4.4 out of 63, App Store and Google Play combined
- Price per kilo, litre and piece on every product, across chains too: Spaartje names no unit price, and reviews mention comparisons of the wrong pack sizes.
- Price history on 1,290,000+ price points, so whether an offer is really an offer.
- A push alert as soon as a favourite goes on offer.
- Free without an account; Spaartje needs one.

App Store (in Dutch), 8 March 2026
"Vergelijkingen kloppen niet"
"De app vergelijkt producten zonder dezelfde producten te kiezen. Er wordt een literpak melk vergeleken met een flacon van twee liter en een 6-pack houdbare melk van 200 ml per pakje. Handmatig aanpassen kan, maar is..."
