The Best Recipe Keeper Apps, Compared
We looked at 19 recipe keeper apps on the App Store and compared what you can check for yourself: the average rating, how many people rated it, and what it costs in the US.
Disclosure: we make Only Recipes, one of the apps on this list. It is not ranked first, and it is listed with the same numbers as everyone else. Nobody paid to be included.

How we compared them
Every number on this page comes from the US App Store, checked on October 24, 2026. Ratings are the US average and the number of US ratings. Prices are the in-app purchase prices each listing shows. We did not score features ourselves: app listings change, and a feature checklist written by one of the competitors is not worth much. Follow the links to each listing to see the current details.
A note on reading the ratings: almost every app here averages between 4.6 and 4.9, so the average alone does not separate them. The number of ratings tells you more about how many people have used an app over the years.
Quick picks by what you need
- Saving from TikTok and Instagram: ReciMe. The most-rated recipe app on the App Store by a wide margin, built around social media imports.
- A big library you will keep for years: Paprika Recipe Manager 3. A 4.9 average from over 54,000 US ratings, and a paid app rather than a subscription. You buy it again on each platform.
- A shared grocery list: AnyList. Strictly a grocery list app with a recipe box attached, with a 4.9 average from over 81,000 US ratings and a household plan.
- Meal planning first: Plan to Eat. Built for people who plan the whole week, with the shopping list generated from the plan.
- Photographing cookbooks and cards: Crouton. Its listing leads with importing from cookbooks and handwritten notes as well as websites.
- The lowest yearly price: Copy Me That. $12 a year for the membership, the cheapest paid tier in this list.
- Just the recipe, without the blog: Just the Recipe, Cook'n and Only Recipes (ours) all focus on pulling the recipe out of a cluttered page.

Where Only Recipes fits
Only Recipes has far fewer ratings than the apps above it (352 in the US), so treat its 4.8 average with that in mind. What reviewers mention most is getting the recipe without the ads and the life story. It saves from websites for free, from TikTok and Instagram with Premium, and has grocery lists and meal planning on the web, iPhone and Android. The free plan keeps 15 recipes; Premium is $2.99 a month or $24.99 a year, and family plans are $8.99 a month or $54.99 a year.
