Listful is a fast-growing, mobile-first wishlist app from the team behind Throne, with strong App Store ratings and a Pro tier. We compared it with WishApp on price, devices and the gifting details that tend to settle the choice.

Looking for a Listful alternative? Listful is a polished mobile app with built-in price tracking, but it caps free users at three lists, shows ads, and makes you pay for Pro to see who reserved your gifts. WishApp is free with no caps and no ads, and hidden reservations come built in. Of the Listful alternatives, WishApp gets our vote.
The table shows what each app does today. Listful comes out ahead on a few rows, and we've marked those as well.

Both apps are free to start, but 'free' means very different things. WishApp has no caps and no ads, ever. Listful's free tier stops at three wishlists and shows ads, and as soon as you want a fourth list you're paying for Listful Pro at $9.99 a month or $59.99 a year. Keep a birthday list, a Christmas list and a shopping list going at once and you hit that wall on day one.
Both have solid iPhone and Android apps, and Listful's App Store rating is strong. Away from the phone, it falls behind. Listful's only extension is for Chrome, with 561 users and a 2.0 rating, and its macOS app is a Catalyst port marked 'not verified.' WishApp has actively maintained extensions for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, Brave and Safari, a real macOS app, and a Raycast quick-add.
On Listful, whether the owner can see who reserved depends on payment. Free owners are kept in the dark, and Pro owners can peek. WishApp flips that. Anyone can open the list from one link, without downloading an app, and reserve in seconds. Hiding reservations is a free toggle the owner controls, not a Pro upsell. WishApp doesn't track you or sell your data either, whereas Listful's privacy label says it uses usage data to track you across other companies' apps.
For a single occasion Listful does the job, with collaborative lists and reactions on wishes. Some basics sit behind Pro, though. Marking your top wish as a favorite costs money, which reviewers say it shouldn't. So does seeing who reserved. In WishApp the priority flag, hidden reservations and a 'received' archive that remembers a gift came 'from Sarah' are all free. Neither app does group gifting toward one expensive present.
Looks are Listful's strong suit. Eight color themes, custom backgrounds, price comparison right on each item card and a TikTok share button make lists feel personal and modern, and adding items by pasting a link is easy. There are two rough edges. You can't reorder your lists, which stay in the order you made them, and the 'For You' feed isn't tailored to what's on your lists. WishApp is plainer to look at, but it lets you reorder and leaves out the ad-driven feed.
