Pricing questions

Yes. 50 recipes, meal planning, cook mode, and a starter dose of August (15 messages/month). Free forever, no card required. It's a real product, not a trial.
Your recipes stay yours. If you downgrade from Cook or Chef back to Free, anything beyond the 50-recipe limit becomes read-only — never deleted. You can re-subscribe and unlock everything again at any time.
Annual saves you ~25% and helps us plan. We default to it because the math is better for both sides. Monthly is right there if you'd rather commit one month at a time.
Anytime, both directions. Upgrades are pro-rated. Downgrades take effect at the next billing cycle.
Web: Stripe (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay). iOS: Apple subscriptions. Android: Google Play. Whatever store you start in is where you manage the subscription.
If something's wrong, email us. We'll make it right. No corporate scripts.
