Reciply vs Allrecipes: Generated Recipes or a Community Library?

Allrecipes is a search problem; Reciply is a constraint problem. On Allrecipes you look for a dish and find dozens of versions with reviews. In Reciply you state your ingredients, time and dietary limits, and get one recipe that satisfies them. Which is better depends entirely on whether you already know what you want to cook.

About Allrecipes

Allrecipes is one of the largest recipe libraries in the world, with decades of user reviews, real photographs from home cooks and reliable, heavily tested classics. For a well-known dish you want done the standard way, the reviews alone are worth a lot.

Frequently asked questions

Are generated recipes as reliable as reviewed ones?

A reviewed recipe carries thousands of hours of other people's feedback, which generated recipes cannot match. Reciply validates ingredient lists, quantities and cooking times before returning a recipe, and we recommend normal cooking judgement on top of that.

Does Reciply cost anything?

Yes — Reciply is free to start. Every account gets 3 free recipes with nutrition, an A–F health grade and a dish photo, and no card is needed. Reciply Plus ($1.99/week or $19.99/year) adds 20 new recipes every week plus Remix, Cook Mode, Meal Planner, Shopping Lists, Diet Coach and offline recipes.

Which is better for beginners?

Allrecipes for learning a named dish with a lot of feedback; Reciply for cooking dinner tonight from what is in the fridge with a difficulty level you choose.
