RecipeGen is free at launch, with a small daily AI budget per account. We’ll introduce a premium tier later for users who want more AI capacity — no surprise charges in the meantime.

We’ll confirm price + scope here before launch. Existing users will get advance notice.
AI features (recipe generation, URL import, ingredient normalization, snap-to-pantry, display-name moderation) are metered against a per-account $0.20 daily budget. That’s enough for roughly 30 photo extractions, 60 URL imports, or 40 generated recipes per day at typical usage — far more than one person needs.
The budget resets at UTC midnight. The remaining cents are surfaced in the import banner and the snap screen so you’re never surprised by a “budget exceeded” message.
You can use RecipeGen without an account in guest mode. Guest mode is free, capped at ten saved recipes, and excludes AI features and the public community library — those open up when you save your account. Upgrading preserves everything you created as a guest, with the same user identifier on the server.
When premium launches, payments will be processed by Apple (on iOS) and Google (on Android) under their standard in-app purchase systems. We won’t ask for credit card details directly — purchases go through the App Store or Play Store with the payment method you already have on file there.
Subscription cancellation, billing history, and refund requests follow each platform’s standard process — Apple “Subscriptions” in Settings, Google Play in the Play Store app. See Refunds for the full framework.
We don’t take a cut of grocery purchases, push affiliate links, or sell ad slots. The app has zero third-party analytics today and no third-party advertising at any point. The only money flowing through RecipeGen is the (eventual) subscription fee for premium features.
