Our goal is to bring Instacart to as many customers as possible at the lowest price possible. While our starting delivery price has not changed in the past three and a half years, a lot about Instacart has changed. We’ve partnered with over 100 retailers, we’ve opened operations in more than 18 cities around the country and we’ve welcomed thousands of Personal Shoppers to our community.
To account for these improvements to our service, as well as changing market conditions, we’ve updated our prices:
- For most cities, delivery now starts at $5.99
- Instacart Express will be $149/year beginning January 4th, 2016
