Corrections to this record
Changes we made to our own record of Instacart+, newest first: a figure read again on the vendor's page, a plan it no longer lists, a note. None of them is a price change by Instacart+. Every correction on the site is in the corrections log.
-
Instacart+ Monthly. Annual discount removed. This row is the monthly plan; the annual one is a separate row holding its own rate ($8.25/mo). A 17% saving recorded against the monthly plan double-counts the same offer and implies the monthly subscriber is paying 17% over a rate they could get on this plan, which is not what the vendor sells. The vendor's other record already left this blank. Found by comparing this vendor's two records: it is catalogued in more than one theme, the two agreed on the price and disagreed about the annual saving.

Instacart+ Annual. Correction 2026-09-11: the annual discount of 17% was removed from "Instacart+ Annual". The recorded $8.25/mo is this plan's own note's $99 yearly total over 12 months, so the saving is already inside the figure, while the page prints the percentage as a further discount off the same row — offering a reader $6.85/mo. Removed rather than moved: a distinct annual plan with no monthly row of its own. The note still describes the term in full. No price changed.

Source replaced, price unchanged. https://www.instacart.com/plus answers 301 and lands on https://www.instacart.com/instacart-plus — the same page at the address the site now uses. The figure is unchanged and still stands on the day it was read; only the link the reader follows is corrected, so it no longer bounces through a redirect. Same host, same scheme, and the destination keeps every distinguishing word of the page's own name.

This standing as a plaque
Instacart+ currently holds a silver deskmark here — Rank 4 of 7 · Food Delivery. Anyone may show it. There is nothing to apply for, nothing to pay, and displaying it changes no score: the standing comes from the published algorithm, which never reads commission data. We never ask anyone to show it, and its link carries rel="nofollow".
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if Instacart+ moves up or down a tier, the plaque on your own site says so at our next publish. Nothing is tracked beyond the ordinary web-server log that records any image request.
