10 Best Grocery Delivery Services of 2026

1. 1

   Instacart

   A grocery marketplace where personal shoppers pick and deliver orders from local stores across North America.

   9.1overall

   A grocery marketplace where personal shoppers pick and deliver orders from local stores across North America.

   Best forShoppers who want the widest choice of grocery chains in one app.

   Adoption data

   91.4 millionInstacart reported 91.4 million orders in the third quarter of 2026, up 10% year over year.

   Instacart (Maplebear Inc.), Instacart third quarter 2026 financial results (Form 8-K exhibit 99.1) (2026): “Orders of 91.4 million, up 10% year-over-year.”

   Instacart is the broadest grocery delivery option in the US. Its App Store description lists Aldi, Publix, Costco, Safeway and Wegmans among nearly 40,000 retail locations, so most households can order from the chain they already use. The company reported 91.4 million orders in the third quarter of 2026, up 10% from a year earlier, the largest grocery-focused order count we could document. Shoppers can chat with the person picking their order and approve substitutions, and delivery is listed as fast as 30 minutes. Instacart+ costs $9.99 a month or $99 a year after a 14-day trial and removes delivery fees on grocery and retail orders of $10 or more. That minimum is the lowest in this ranking. The trade-offs: service fees still apply to members, Costco orders need $35 for free delivery, and the stores on offer vary by zip code. Shoppers who stick to one retailer may pay less with that retailer's own membership.

   Strengths

   • +Most retail locations of any service in this ranking
   • +Lowest order minimum for free member delivery, at $10
   • +Annual plan brings the cost to $99 a year

   Limitations

   • −Service fees still apply to members
   • −Costco orders need $35 for $0 delivery
   • −Store choice depends on your zip code

   SummaryThe best starting point for most US households, with the widest store choice and a low $10 minimum for free member delivery. Pick the annual plan if you order more than once a month.

2. 2

   Walmart+

   Walmart's paid membership for free delivery from local Walmart stores, with fuel savings and a streaming service included.

   9.0overall

   Walmart's paid membership for free delivery from local Walmart stores, with fuel savings and a streaming service included.

   Best forBudget households that buy most of their groceries at Walmart.

   Adoption data

   24%Walmart U.S. eCommerce sales grew 24% in the second quarter of fiscal 2027 (to July 2026), helped by store-fulfilled delivery, and Walmart+ net member additions hit a record for a second quarter.

   Walmart Inc., Walmart second quarter fiscal 2027 earnings release (Form 8-K exhibit 99.1) (2026): “eCommerce sales increased 24%, with strength in store-fulfilled delivery, advertising, and marketplace”

   Walmart+ is the value pick for households whose weekly shop is already at Walmart. The membership costs $98 a year and covers free delivery from a local store on orders of $35 or more, with an Express option that brings orders in as little as an hour for an added fee. The package reaches beyond groceries: members get up to 10 cents off a gallon at more than 13,000 fuel stations and can pick Peacock Premium or Paramount+ Essential with ads. Qualifying government assistance recipients and college students can join for $49 a year. Walmart does not publish a member count, but its August 2026 earnings release reported 24% growth in Walmart U.S. eCommerce sales, led partly by store-fulfilled delivery, and a record second-quarter rise in Walmart+ net adds. The main limit is choice: orders come only from Walmart, so shoppers who want specialty or regional grocers will need a second service.

   Strengths

   • +Lowest annual price among same-day memberships here
   • +Non-grocery perks such as fuel savings and streaming
   • +Half-price plan for qualifying assistance recipients and students

   Limitations

   • −Delivers from Walmart only
   • −$35 minimum for free delivery
   • −Express one-hour delivery costs extra

   SummaryThe cheapest way to get regular same-day grocery delivery if Walmart already covers your list. The fuel and streaming perks add value that grocery-only memberships do not.

3. 3

   DoorDash

   A delivery marketplace that adds grocery, convenience and retail stores to its restaurant network.

   8.8overall

   A delivery marketplace that adds grocery, convenience and retail stores to its restaurant network.

   Best forPeople who want restaurant meals and grocery runs under one membership.

   Adoption data

   993 millionDoorDash reported 993 million total orders across restaurants, grocery and retail in the third quarter of 2026, up 28% year over year including Deliveroo.

   DoorDash, DoorDash third quarter 2026 financial results (Form 8-K exhibit 99.1) (2026): “Total Orders increased 28% year-over-year (Y/Y) to 993 million.”

   DoorDash is best known for restaurant delivery, but its app now lists more than 55,000 grocery, convenience and retail stores across over 4,000 cities, next to more than 310,000 menus. That makes it a practical single app for households that order dinner and top up groceries in the same week. DashPass costs $9.99 a month after a 30-day trial, the longest trial in this ranking, and gives unlimited $0 delivery fees plus up to 10% off eligible orders from restaurants and grocery stores. DoorDash accepts SNAP/EBT at participating merchants. It reported 993 million total orders in the third quarter of 2026, though that figure covers all categories and includes Deliveroo outside the US, so it overstates grocery volume. Shoppers doing a large weekly shop will find fewer chains than on Instacart, and service fees still apply to members.

   Strengths

   • +One membership covers restaurants and groceries
   • +Largest total order volume in this ranking
   • +Longest free trial here, at 30 days

   Limitations

   • −Order count mixes restaurant and grocery orders
   • −Grocery selection is smaller than Instacart's store list
   • −Service fees still apply to members

   SummaryA strong choice for people who already use DoorDash for meals and want groceries on the same membership. Heavy grocery shoppers will usually find more store choice on Instacart.

4. 4

   Amazon Fresh

   Amazon's grocery service, with same-day grocery delivery included in a Prime membership in selected areas.

   8.6overall

   Amazon's grocery service, with same-day grocery delivery included in a Prime membership in selected areas.

   Best forPrime members who want groceries added to orders they already place on Amazon.

   Adoption data

   about halfAmazon said fresh groceries and everyday essentials grew about three times faster than the rest of its store in the third quarter of 2026 and made up about half of all units sold.

   Amazon.com, Inc., Amazon third quarter 2026 results (Form 8-K exhibit 99.1) (2026): “Continued growing its global Grocery business, with fresh groceries and everyday essentials growing about 3x faster than the rest of the store and representing about half of all units sold in Q3.”

   Amazon's grocery offer makes the most sense for households that already pay for Prime. The Prime page lists free same-day delivery on grocery orders of $25 or more in selected areas, plus exclusive savings at Whole Foods Market, so groceries ride on a membership that also covers shipping and video. Prime costs $14.99 a month or $139 a year after a 30-day trial, with Prime for Young Adults at $7.49 and Prime Access at $6.99 a month for those who qualify. Amazon does not report grocery orders, but its third quarter 2026 release said fresh groceries and everyday essentials grew about three times faster than the rest of the store and made up about half of all units sold. The downside is cost for anyone who would buy Prime only for groceries: at $14.99 a month it is the priciest membership in this ranking, and same-day grocery delivery is not available everywhere.

   Strengths

   • +Groceries come with a membership many households already pay for
   • +Low $25 minimum for free same-day grocery delivery
   • +Discounted Prime plans for young adults and qualifying customers

   Limitations

   • −Most expensive membership here if bought only for groceries
   • −Same-day grocery delivery is limited to selected areas
   • −Amazon does not publish grocery order counts

   SummaryIf you already have Prime, check whether same-day grocery delivery covers your address before paying for a second service. As a grocery-only purchase, Prime costs more than Walmart+ or Instacart+.

5. 5

   Kroger Delivery

   Delivery and pickup from Kroger supermarkets, with digital coupons, fuel points and pharmacy in one app.

   8.4overall

   Delivery and pickup from Kroger supermarkets, with digital coupons, fuel points and pharmacy in one app.

   Best forKroger shoppers who want delivery without losing coupons and fuel points.

   Adoption data

   11 millionKroger says it serves more than 11 million customers daily through its stores and digital shopping, and its adjusted eCommerce sales grew 20% in the second quarter of 2026.

   The Kroger Co., Kroger second quarter 2026 results (Form 8-K exhibit 99.1) (2026): “serving more than 11 million customers daily through a digital shopping experience and retail food stores”

   Kroger Delivery is the natural pick for shoppers who already use a Kroger store and care about its loyalty program. The Kroger app handles delivery or pickup where available, applies clipped digital coupons at checkout, and tracks fuel points for gas savings, so delivery orders keep the same rewards as in-store trips. A recipe scanner adds ingredients to the cart, and Kroger Pharmacy refills sit in the same app. Kroger's September 2026 earnings release said the company serves more than 11 million customers daily across stores and digital shopping and that adjusted eCommerce sales grew 20% in the quarter. We could not load Kroger's Boost membership page from our location, so its current price is pending here. The main limit is reach: orders come only from Kroger and its banners, and you need a Kroger digital account linked to a rewards ID.

   Strengths

   • +Keeps Kroger coupons, fuel points and rewards on delivery orders
   • +Adjusted eCommerce sales grew 20% in Q2 2026
   • +Pharmacy and grocery in one account

   Limitations

   • −Delivers from Kroger banners only
   • −Boost membership price could not be confirmed from our location
   • −Requires a Kroger digital account

   SummaryA sensible choice for loyal Kroger shoppers who want delivery without giving up coupons and fuel points. Check the Boost price on Kroger's site before you commit.

   Shipt

   Target's same-day delivery service, with personal shoppers at 120+ grocery and retail chains.

   8.1overall

   Target's same-day delivery service, with personal shoppers at 120+ grocery and retail chains.

   Best forTarget Circle 360 members and shoppers who use Target, Sprouts or regional chains.

   Adoption data

   138KShipt's iPhone app listing on the US App Store shows 138K ratings, a cumulative count of reviews left by users.

   Apple App Store, Shipt app listing (US App Store) (2026): “Shipt: Order Grocery Delivery Fresh Food & Top Retail Stores Free Share 138K Ratings”

   Shipt is a same-day delivery service with personal shoppers that pick orders from more than 120 chains, including Target, Sprouts, Albertsons, Safeway, CVS, PetSmart and Lowe's. Its App Store listing says members pay $0 in delivery fees on eligible orders over $35 and that activated Target Circle 360 members get benefits that include no price markups, which makes Shipt the obvious route for Target households. Shoppers can message their shopper about substitutions, pay with SNAP EBT, and use Ask Shipt, an AI assistant that turns recipes, lists or photos into product suggestions. Express Delivery is offered in eligible areas. Shipt does not report order counts, and its app has 138K ratings, far fewer than Instacart's. We could not load Shipt's membership page from our location, so its price is pending here. Orders with alcohol may incur a $7 fee.

   Strengths

   • +Strong pick for Target shoppers through Target Circle 360
   • +Mixes grocery with beauty, pet and home retailers
   • +Accepts SNAP EBT

   Limitations

   • −Smaller store network than Instacart
   • −Membership price could not be confirmed from our location
   • −Alcohol orders may carry a $7 fee

   SummaryThe best fit for Target Circle 360 members and anyone who shops Target and Sprouts together. Shoppers who want the most chains should compare it with Instacart.

   Thrive Market

   A membership online grocer for organic and specialty pantry goods, shipped from its own warehouses.

   8.1overall

   A membership online grocer for organic and specialty pantry goods, shipped from its own warehouses.

   Best forHouseholds that buy organic, gluten-free or other diet-specific pantry staples.

   Adoption data

   1.7MThrive Market says more than 1.7 million members use its service.

   Thrive Market, Thrive Market membership page (2026): “1.7M+ Members Trust Us”

   Thrive Market is a membership grocer rather than a delivery app: it sells organic and specialty goods from its own warehouses and ships them to your door. Its membership page lists an annual plan at $60, which works out to $5 a month, or a monthly plan at $12, and says more than 1.7 million members use it. Members get access to daily deals, exclusive products and free full-size gifts on qualifying orders, and Thrive Market says its products cost up to 30% less than traditional grocery. The app offers more than 90 diet and lifestyle filters, which suits households shopping gluten-free, plant-based or low-sugar. Shipping is free and carbon neutral, and each annual membership sponsors one for a family in need. The limits are timing and range: it does not do same-day delivery, and fresh produce is not its focus, so most members will pair it with a local service.

   Strengths

   • +Cheapest paid membership in this ranking, at $60 a year
   • +Deep diet filtering for specialty shoppers
   • +Published member count of 1.7 million+

   Limitations

   • −Shipped orders, not same-day delivery
   • −Pantry focus, not a full weekly shop
   • −Monthly plan costs $12, more than double the annual rate

   SummaryThe cheapest paid membership here and the best option for diet-specific pantry staples. Pair it with a same-day service for fresh food and last-minute items.

8. 8

   Gopuff

   A rapid delivery service that sells groceries and essentials from its own micro-fulfillment centers.

   7.8overall

   A rapid delivery service that sells groceries and essentials from its own micro-fulfillment centers.

   Best forLate-night and last-minute orders where speed matters more than selection.

   Adoption data

   267KGopuff's iPhone app listing on the US App Store shows 267K ratings, a cumulative count of reviews left by users.

   Apple App Store, Gopuff app listing (US App Store) (2026): “Gopuff - Grocery Delivery Food & Essentials Fast Only for iPhone Free Share 267K Ratings”

   Gopuff works differently from the marketplaces in this ranking: it stocks its own inventory in more than 500 micro-fulfillment centers and delivers to over 1,000 cities in as fast as 15 minutes. Because it does not shop at a third-party store, its App Store listing promises no substitutions, no markups and no service fees, and many locations run 24/7. The grocery range covers more than 300 fresh items plus meat, seafood, snacks, alcohol and household goods, and SNAP EBT is accepted. Gopuff FAM members pay $0 delivery fees on every order and get weekly member deals; Gopuff says members save an average of $25 a month. We could not load the FAM page from our location, so the price is pending here. Gopuff publishes no order counts, and its app shows 267K ratings. The catch is range: it is built for top-ups and late-night needs, not a full weekly shop.

   Strengths

   • +Fastest stated delivery time in this ranking
   • +No substitutions because it stocks its own inventory
   • +Many locations operate around the clock

   Limitations

   • −Narrower range than a supermarket
   • −FAM price could not be confirmed from our location
   • −iPhone only on the App Store listing

   SummaryThe service to open when you need something in the next half hour, especially late at night. Use a supermarket service for the main weekly shop.

   Misfits Market

   An online grocer that ships discounted organic produce and rescued food on a weekly schedule.

   7.5overall

   An online grocer that ships discounted organic produce and rescued food on a weekly schedule.

   Best forBudget-minded households that plan a weekly produce and pantry order.

   Adoption data

   16KMisfits Market's iPhone app listing on the US App Store shows 16K ratings, a cumulative count of reviews left by users.

   Apple App Store, Misfits Market app listing (US App Store) (2026): “Get Organic Grocery Delivery Only for iPhone Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS. Share 16K Ratings”

   Misfits Market is the low-commitment option in this ranking. Its how-it-works page says there are no subscription fees or order obligations, and you can skip, pause or cancel at any time. After signing up, each customer gets a weekly shopping window of 3 to 6 days with a cart pre-filled with suggestions that can be edited, and the order ships on a set delivery day. The app lists more than 700 items, from organic produce and pantry staples to meat and seafood, at up to 30% below grocery store prices by the company's own measure, with rescued food sold at a discount. Delivery reaches nearly every zip code in the contiguous US, wider than any same-day service here. The trade-offs are timing and a minimum: orders below the order minimum are not placed, and there is no on-demand delivery. Misfits Market publishes no customer count, and its app has 16K ratings.

   Strengths

   • +No subscription fee
   • +Near-national coverage across the contiguous US
   • +Discounted organic produce and rescued food

   Limitations

   • −Orders must meet a minimum to be placed
   • −Fixed weekly delivery day, not on demand
   • −Smallest app rating count in this ranking

   SummaryA good fit for planners who want discounted organic produce delivered weekly without paying a membership. It does not replace a same-day service for urgent needs.

    7.4overall

    A New York City online grocer that sources directly from growers and delivers its own orders.

    Best forHouseholds and offices in the New York City metro area.

    Adoption data

    Apple App Store, FreshDirect app listing (US App Store) (2026): “FreshDirect: Grocery Delivery Shop food & alcohol delivery Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS. Share 30K Ratings”

    FreshDirect is a regional online grocer that has operated in New York City since 2002. Unlike the marketplaces in this ranking, it buys directly from growers, producers and local food makers and runs its own delivery, which lets it focus on fresh and in-season food. Its App Store listing says it serves residential and business customers across the greater New York City metro area, with seasonal service to eastern Long Island and the Jersey Shore. Customers pick a delivery window at checkout, and 2-hour express and same-day delivery are offered in select areas. The app supports lists, reorders and contact with customer service. FreshDirect publishes no customer counts, and its app shows 30K ratings. We could not load its DeliveryPass page from our location, so membership pricing is pending here. Outside its service area it is not an option at all.

    Strengths

    • +Runs its own sourcing and delivery rather than shopping at stores
    • +Serves offices as well as homes
    • +Express 2-hour delivery in select areas

    Limitations

    • −Limited to the New York City metro and seasonal areas
    • −DeliveryPass price could not be confirmed from our location
    • −Small app rating count compared with national services

    SummaryA solid choice for New York City households and offices that want fresh, directly sourced groceries. Everyone else should look at the national services above.
