ReciMe Alternatives: Apps to Save Recipes from TikTok and Instagram
Updated · by MealClip
Short answer
ReciMe is a recipe organiser whose free plan allows 5 imports a week and whose help center says TikTok imports start from the caption and then the audio. The best alternative depends on why you are leaving: for recipes that are only in the video, with nothing to install, MealClip ($2.99 a month, web) or Clip Recipe ($3.95 a month, web); for a recipe box app with a bigger free plan, CookBook (20 recipes free) or Flavorish (unlimited website imports, 5 social imports).
Why people look for a ReciMe alternative
The weekly cap. The free version is limited to 5 recipe imports per week, which runs out fast if you clear a saved folder full of Reels.
The price is not on its website. ReciMe does not publish its prices on its site; the US App Store lists ReciMe Plus purchases from $29.99 to $59.99.
Recipes that are only in the video. ReciMe's help center says TikTok imports use the caption first, then the video's audio; it does not mention on-screen text, which is where many music-only recipes put their ingredients.
You only want the recipe, not another app. ReciMe is a full organiser with meal plans and grocery lists; if you just want the recipe out of a video, a web converter is quicker.
