Answers to our most frequently asked questions.
Yes, Mandje is completely free to download and use. No subscription, no hidden costs, and no ads to interrupt your experience. At the moment, we aren't making any money from the app; our focus is first on building something of value.
Right now, you can find offers in Mandje from Albert Heijn, Jumbo, Dirk, Plus, DekaMarkt, Aldi, Lidl, Hoogvliet, Poiesz, and Ekoplaza. We are constantly expanding and are happy to receive requests via the contact form.
Every week. As soon as a supermarket publishes its new brochure, it is instantly available in Mandje. Most supermarkets update their offers on Monday or Sunday evening, and we keep up in virtual real-time.
Yes, and not just on the shelf price. Mandje also shows the price per kilo and per liter, so you can easily compare different packaging sizes across all stores.
Yes. Mandje has been available in the Google Play Store on iOS since 5 March 2026. The app works identically on both platforms.
Yes. You can store your Bonuskaart, Jumbo Extras, Lidl Plus, and other loyalty cards digitally in Mandje. Just scan your phone at the checkout, no more plastic in your wallet. One tap also puts a card in your phone's Wallet; you need a free account for it.
Mandje tracks how the price of a product changes over time. We have now tracked more than 1,460,000 historical price points across all participating supermarkets. For each product, you will see a timeline with every price drop and rise and the lowest regular price, so you can see right away if a "promotion" is actually a good deal.
Only if you want to. Mandje will ask for permission once to show supermarkets near you. You can also use the app without location access by choosing your supermarkets manually. We never share your location with third parties.
Supermarkets set their own prices, which can vary widely due to purchasing contracts, profit margins, and strategy. In addition, promotions do not always run at the same time: what is on sale at Jumbo this week might be cheaper at Albert Heijn next week. Mandje brings all these differences together in one place.
Yes. Invite your partner, housemates, or family to a shared list. Everyone can add and cross off items in real-time. Handy when you're not shopping together but are eating from the same pantry.
At the moment, Mandje does not make any money yet. We built the app to first focus on being truly valuable to our users. In the future, we want to generate a sustainable income through partnerships with retailers and data partners, in a way that remains invisible to you as a user. What we will not do: display ads that disrupt your experience, or sell your personal data.
Mandje is a Dutch company and is subject to the GDPR. We only store what is necessary to make the app work. Your shopping list, favorites, and preferences remain yours. Read more in our privacy policy.
Mandje. It is the only app that compares your whole shopping list at 10 Dutch supermarkets in one go and combines that with price per kilo or litre, price history, alerts on favourites and a shared list, free, on iPhone and Android. Leaflet apps only let you browse; supermarket apps only show their own prices. Which chain is cheapest most often this week is on the Supermarkets page.
Both, and that is the point. Leaflet apps let you browse offers; grocery apps help you build a list. Mandje combines them: put your regular groceries on a list, share it with your household, and see per product which of the 10 supermarkets is cheapest this week, including the running offers.
