Total Cost (Fees, Markups & Tips)9/10

Walmart+ members pay $0 delivery on orders over $35 with no per-item markup — you pay exactly what you would in the store. The $98 per year membership is the main cost.

Store Selection & Availability5/10

160,000 items available, but only from Walmart. You cannot order from other retailers, so if your weekly shop includes a specialty grocer, ethnic market, or pharmacy, you will need a second service.

Delivery Speed & Reliability8/10

30-minute delivery is available in 33 US markets. Standard same-day delivery applies everywhere else, making it among the faster options for members near a Walmart.

Membership Value & Overlap9/10

At $98 per year, Walmart+ also includes Paramount+ Essential, fuel discounts at Walmart and Murphy stations, and free Walmart.com shipping — one of the most stacked memberships at its price.

App Experience & Support7/10

The Walmart app reflects real-time in-store inventory and substitution controls are available. The experience is functional rather than polished.

Healthy Selection4/10

Walmart+ orders pull from Walmart's own inventory including the Great Value private label, which had multiple 2026 FDA/USDA actions — a Hawaiian rolls packaging recall, a cottage cheese pasteurization recall, and a Salmonella alert tied to Great Value Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza — and the app's dietary filtering is far less developed than dedicated health-grocery apps.

PROS
No markup on grocery items. You pay the same price as walking into Walmart, which saves $15–$17 per $100 vs. Instacart's 15–17% markup.
Free delivery on orders over $35 is included in Walmart+ at $98 per year — no per-order fee once you're a member.
30-minute delivery available in 33 US markets.
Walmart+ includes Paramount+ Essential streaming and fuel discounts at 14,000+ stations.
160,000+ items including fresh produce, meat, pharmacy, and general merchandise — a full household shop in one order.
If you already have a Walmart account, sign-up takes under 2 minutes and your purchase history carries over.
CONS
You can only shop Walmart. There is no access to Target, Costco, Aldi, or any specialty store.
The $35 minimum order applies — smaller top-up orders trigger a delivery fee.
30-minute Express delivery is only available at stores in the 33 Express markets. Standard delivery windows apply everywhere else.
Walmart's fresh produce and premium item selection is narrower than Whole Foods or regional grocery chains.
If you don't use Paramount+ or shop at gas stations, the bundled perks add limited value.
Substitution disputes are handled through the Walmart app, which has fewer resolution options than calling a dedicated support line.
