Looking for a ReciMe alternative?
ReciMe is a recipe organizer: it saves recipes from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest and websites, then turns them into a meal plan and a grocery list. If what you need is one dinner that works for several diets at one table, Gluten plans that instead. Here’s how the two compare, from ReciMe’s own pages.
Free to start on iPhone, Android and the web.

ReciMe and Gluten, side by side
| ReciMe | Gluten | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A recipe organizer and meal planner for the recipes you save, from social media, websites, screenshots and handwritten notes | A family meal planner that suggests dinners for the people you add |
| Who it plans for | You: its Magic Meal Plans ask about your budget, cooking time, diet, allergies and favorite cuisines | A profile for each person: their conditions, allergies, diets and age |
| Restrictions | Diet and allergy answers for Magic Meal Plans. We didn’t find a list of which ones on its site, help center or App Store page | 50 conditions, diets, allergies and life stages, from celiac and AIP to pregnancy and toddlers |
| When people eat differently | Pick recipes that suit everyone, or change them yourself | One dinner for everyone, with a small change for anyone who needs one |
| Recipes | The ones you save, plus suggestions from ReciMe’s recipe database | Dinners planned for your family and checked for each person |
| Import | Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, websites, photos and pasted text. 5 imports a week for free | No |
| Grocery list | Yes, sorted by aisle or by recipe. Order it from a grocery partner | Not yet: each recipe lists its ingredients |
| Price | Free to use, with 5 imports a week. ReciMe Plus is $39.99 a year in the US, after a 7-day free trial | Free to start. Gluten Pro is $4.99 a month for new recipes after a few nights |
When ReciMe is the better choice
If your recipes live in saved Instagram posts, TikToks and screenshots and you want them in one tidy place. ReciMe imports from almost anywhere, sorts a grocery list by aisle, sends it to a grocery partner, and has a 4.8 rating from 331,000 ratings on the App Store. Gluten can’t import recipes or make a grocery list.
When Gluten is the better choice
If people at your table need different things at once: a child with celiac, a partner on AIP, a pregnancy, a nut allergy. ReciMe is at its best with recipes you’ve already chosen. Gluten starts from the people instead: a profile for each person, dinners all of them can eat with every ingredient checked against each of them, and what to change on one plate. It’s free to start.

How much does ReciMe cost?
ReciMe is free with up to 5 recipe imports a week, and its grocery list, meal plan and cookbooks stay free. ReciMe Plus adds unlimited imports, the nutrition calculator, cooking mode, Ask ReciMe and recipe export. Its help center says the yearly plan is $39.99 in the US, with a 7-day free trial. Those are the prices we read on November 9, 2026.
Can ReciMe plan around food allergies?
Its Magic Meal Plans ask about your diet and allergies, along with your budget, cooking time and favorite cuisines, and build a week from your saved recipes and ReciMe’s database. We didn’t find a profile for each person, or a list of the diets and allergies it covers, on its site, help center or App Store page.
Can I use ReciMe and Gluten together?
Yes, they do different jobs. ReciMe keeps the recipes you’ve saved, and Gluten plans dinners for the people you add and checks each one for them. Gluten doesn’t read recipes from other apps, so your saved recipes stay in ReciMe.
How much does Gluten cost?
Gluten is free to start, on iPhone, Android and the web. Your first week of dinners, every recipe on your table and every check are free, with no trial and no card. Once your table has cooked with Gluten for a few nights, new recipes are Gluten Pro, $4.99 a month.
Can I bring my ReciMe recipes to Gluten?
No. Gluten has no import. You add your family once, and Gluten plans from there.
