Any tools to sync Amazon shopping lists across multiple accounts?

Okay so look I am in a total panic because we are moving in literally 12 days and my brain is totally fried. We have three different Amazon accounts going in this house (dont ask, long story with student discounts and business stuff) and I am trying to keep the shopping lists synced so we dont buy the same vacuum or coffee maker three times. Its a mess and we've already accidentally double-ordered a set of pans because communication is breaking down. I need a way to literally have one master list that updates across all three accounts because my mom keeps adding stuff to hers and I cant see it on mine without clicking a million links and it's driving me insane.

Ive been looking at a few things but I dont know which one actually works without stealing all my data or just crashing. Here is what I am torn between:

  • The Copy-Move Amazon Lists chrome extension: I've heard mixed reviews about it being super buggy and I dont want to lose my whole list of 200 items if the extension glitches out.
  • AnyList: I know it has an import thing but does it actually sync back to Amazon properly so I can see what was actually purchased?
  • Just sticking with the native Invite to List feature on Amazon: The problem is it feels so clunky and half the time my mom says she cant find the shared list on her mobile app even though I sent the invite link twice.

My constraints are pretty tight:

  • Needs to be under like 10 bucks or free because moving is expensive as hell and we are already way over budget
  • Has to be easy enough for my mom to use, she is not tech savvy at all and will give up if there are too many steps
  • Needs to update in real-time or at least sync every hour because we are buying stuff fast before the moving truck gets here
  • Has to handle a lot of items across different categories like kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom stuff

I'm leaning towards trying the chrome extension but I am really worried about it being a security risk or just failing right when I need it. Is there any other tool that specifically handles account-to-account syncing? I need this sorted by Friday or I am definitely gonna lose my mind...

Honestly, I'd just stick with the free native invite feature. I tried a random chrome tool last year and it felt super sketchy, like my account might get flagged. Since you're trying to save cash for the move, don't waste money on paid stuff tho. Just make sure your mom's app is updated because that usually fixes the shared list bug. It's the safest bet.
