Introducing Lifetime Unlimited: One Payment, Unlimited Recipes, Forever
June 2026
We built Drizzlelemons because recipe sites are exhausting — ads, popups, autoplay videos, and a thousand-word life story between you and the ingredients. We also believe the fix for that should not come with another monthly bill. So today we are adding the option people have asked us for most: Lifetime Unlimited. One payment, unlimited recipe conversions and saves, every premium feature — forever. No subscription. No expiry. No lemons to count.
For founding members it is $39 — and it moves to $69 once the first 100 are claimed. Here is exactly what you get, why we priced it this way, and how to tell whether Lifetime or our pay-as-you-go lemons make more sense for you.
What Lifetime Unlimited gives you
- Unlimited recipe conversions. Paste any URL, get a clean, ad-free recipe, as often as you like.
- Unlimited saves. Build a recipe collection as large as you want.
- Every premium feature — now and in the future. AI customization, serving scaling, unit conversion, Cook Mode, the meal planner, smart shopping lists, recipe versioning, and whatever we ship next.
- No subscription, ever. One payment and you are done.
- No expiry. It is tied to your account for the life of the product.
In short: the meter disappears. You stop thinking about credits and just cook.
Why a lifetime plan instead of a subscription
Our whole pricing model is built on a simple belief: you should not pay rent for a tool you use a few times a week. That is why the default is lemons — credits you buy once and spend one per conversion, with no monthly fee and no expiry (we wrote about why that matters in recipe apps without subscriptions). Lifetime is the same idea taken to its conclusion: pay once, never think about it again.
We are not going to bolt on a $9.99-a-month plan and start nagging you to upgrade. If you cook a lot, you should be able to pay a fair, one-time price and then be left alone. That is Lifetime.
Founding pricing: $39 now, $69 later
The first 100 people to go Lifetime get founding pricing: $39, a $30 saving on the regular $69. After 100 founding members, the price moves to $69 and stays there.
We are keeping the founding group small on purpose. Early supporters who back the product while it is young get the best price we will ever offer — and a permanent thank-you for helping us prove that an ad-free, subscription-free recipe app can work. You can see how many founding spots are left right on the pricing page.
Lifetime or lemons — which is right for you?
Both are one-time purchases; neither is a subscription. The only question is how often you cook from new recipes.
- Stick with lemons if you convert recipes occasionally — a handful a month. Start with 10 free, then top up from $1.99 when you run low. You will likely spend very little.
- Go Lifetime if cooking is a regular part of your life — you are saving recipes constantly, planning meals each week, building shopping lists, running Cook Mode at the stove, or developing recipes across versions. At that point a single $39–$69 payment beats topping up again and again, and you never think about a balance.
Not sure? Start free — every account gets 10 lemons — and upgrade to Lifetime whenever it makes sense. Nothing is lost either way.

Frequently asked questions
Is Lifetime Unlimited really a one-time payment?
Yes. You pay once. There is no subscription, no recurring charge, and no expiry — it is tied to your account for the life of the product.
What does "unlimited" include?
Unlimited recipe conversions and unlimited saves, plus every premium feature — AI customization, scaling, unit conversion, Cook Mode, the meal planner, smart shopping lists, and recipe versioning — now and in the future.
How long is founding pricing available?
Until the first 100 founding members claim it. After that, Lifetime is $69. The live count of remaining founding spots is shown on the pricing page.
Do my lemons still work if I go Lifetime?
You will not need them — conversions and saves stop costing lemons once you are Lifetime. Any lemons already on your account simply stay there.
What if I only cook occasionally?
Then lemons are probably the better fit — start with 10 free and top up from $1.99 only when you run out. You can upgrade to Lifetime at any time. See the full breakdown on the pricing page or our roundup of the best recipe apps in 2026.
