ReciMe Alternative: Compare Features and Pricing
Compare recipe sources, free allowances and cooking tools before choosing a plan.
Reviewed 15 September 2026. We make Drizzlelemons; competitor features and prices below are based on the linked public sources.
One free conversion each day — no signup. If a source blocks extraction, paste recipe text you can access.
Which fits the way you cook?
ReciMe and Drizzlelemons both help you save and cook recipes you find. ReciMe offers mobile apps, a desktop web app in beta and a free weekly import allowance. Drizzlelemons runs in a mobile or desktop browser, with a daily anonymous trial, a signup allowance and one-time paid upgrades.
Choose ReciMe if its native mobile workflow and recurring free imports fit your routine. Choose Drizzlelemons if you prefer cooking in a mobile browser and paying for additional conversions through one-time purchases. ReciMe also works on desktop, so browser access alone is not a reason to switch.
Is ReciMe free, and what does Plus cost?
ReciMe's free-plan guide includes five imports per week, cookbooks, meal plans and smart grocery lists. Plus adds unlimited imports, nutrition calculation, measurement conversion, export/printing and guided cooking.
Its weekly import rules say the allowance resets every seven days from account creation, with no daily cap. Web, social, image and text imports count when you save the result; failed or abandoned imports do not.
| Plan or offer | What the sources say |
|---|---|
| Free | Five imports every seven days and core app features |
| Plus subscription | Monthly and annual options; confirm your available price |
| Published US annual examples | US$39.99 in the English guide; US$59.99 in the Portuguese guide |
| Plus trial | Seven days advertised; renews into a paid subscription unless cancelled |
Pricing is not consistent across the public pages checked on 15 September 2026: the English pricing guide and Portuguese pricing guide give different US annual examples. The US App Store lists US$29.99, US$39.99 and US$59.99 purchase tiers without identifying their billing periods. Those tiers cannot establish which offer your account will receive.
ReciMe documents monthly and annual plans and web, Apple and Google subscription routes. Confirm the price, currency, billing period, renewal and trial eligibility in your subscription screen. A one-time lifetime plan was not advertised in the sources reviewed.
How Drizzlelemons charges
Try one conversion each day without an account. A free account starts with 5 lemons; keeping your anonymous trial recipe uses one of them. New conversions and AI edits each use one lemon. Saving an already-converted recipe has no separate charge.
One-time top-ups start at $1.99 for 20 lemons. The optional Lifetime plan is $39 while the founding offer is available, with a regular price of $69. Lifetime removes lemon charges for conversions and AI edits, with a fair-use limit of 100 conversions and AI edits a day. Check pricing and Lifetime availability for the current offer.
The recipe scaler and unit calculatorsare free and do not use lemons. Compare your likely usage with the other app's free plan before deciding to pay.

How do the five free ReciMe imports reset?

What is free with Drizzlelemons?
