OUR VERDICT
Walmart+

Best for: Families who already shop at Walmart and want to stop making weekly store runs. The $98 per year membership pays for itself in roughly 3 orders and there is no per-item markup.

Try Walmart+
Instacart

Best for: Shoppers in suburban or mid-size cities who need to order from multiple different retailers in a single week (like Costco, Aldi, and a local pharmacy) and are willing to pay a premium for that flexibility.
