Every Lemon Includes
No feature tiers: every account gets every feature. Each recipe conversion and each AI edit uses one lemon. Saving, scaling servings and the unit calculators cost nothing extra.
How does Drizzlelemons pricing compare?
Most recipe managers charge a monthly or yearly subscription that keeps billing whether you cooked that month or not. Drizzlelemons doesn't: you either pay per recipe with lemons or pay once for Lifetime Unlimited — there's no recurring fee and nothing to cancel. If you're weighing your options, compare Drizzlelemons with other recipe apps feature by feature.
Two more useful links: you can gift any bundle with a cooking gift card, and anything this page doesn't answer is probably in the full FAQ.

Pricing Questions
Can I use Drizzlelemons without paying?
Yes. You can convert one recipe a day without an account. When you sign up you get 5 free lemons — one lemon per recipe conversion, including the trial recipe if you keep it.
Is there a subscription?
No. Lemons are one-time purchases. Buy a bundle when you need more — there are no recurring charges and nothing to cancel.
Do lemons expire?
No. Your lemons stay in your account until you use them. Buy now, cook later.
What does 1 lemon get me?
One lemon = one recipe conversion. That includes extraction, saving, and the free tools to scale servings and convert units for that recipe. Editing a saved recipe with AI costs 1 lemon each time too, since each edit is a fresh AI generation — but manual edits and saved versions are always free.
Why lemons instead of a monthly plan?
Most people convert a handful of recipes at a time, not hundreds a month. Pay-per-use means you only spend money when you're actually cooking — no wasted subscription fees.
Is there a way to get unlimited?
Yes. Lifetime Unlimited is a one-time payment for unlimited recipe conversions and saves — no subscription and no expiry — with a fair-use limit of 100 conversions and AI edits a day. Founding pricing is available while early spots last.
