Stella
Read full descriptionHide full description
Stella is an AI-powered meal planner built for real households — where people can use their recipes, diets, and preferences without having to spend hours on Sunday building a recipe and grocery list. Chat with Stella like a smart sous chef: • "What should we make this week?" • "Plan four weeknight meals that take under 30 minutes." • "We have chicken, spinach, and leftover rice — what's for dinner?" Stella knows your saved recipes, your household size, your dietary preferences, and what's in your pantry. She builds the plan — you adjust it however you want. KEY FEATURES → AI meal planning Tell Stella what you want (or don't want) this week and she drafts a plan that respects your diet, your household size, and how often you actually cook. Adjust any day with a tap. → One smart grocery list Every recipe's ingredients get aggregated into one list, categorized by aisle and split into bulk runs versus weekly-fresh stores. Items already in your pantry are flagged so you don't double-buy. → Save any recipe, from anywhere Paste a URL, snap a photo, screenshot an Instagram or TikTok post, upload a PDF cookbook page. Stella parses it into a clean recipe card with ingredients, instructions, and nutrition estimates. → Leftovers that actually get eaten After a meal, a quick tap saves the leftovers. When you plan tomorrow with Stella, she'll suggest using them up before they expire — no food wasted. → Household sharing Invite your partner or roommates. Shared recipes, shared meal plans, shared grocery list. Per-member permissions for who can edit what. → Works with your kitchen Barcode scanning for pantry items. Receipt upload for post-shop pantry sync. WHO STELLA IS FOR • Households of 2–6 juggling multiple people's schedules and preferences • Anyone tired of "what's for dinner?" after a long day • Meal planners who want an assistant, not another spreadsheet • People who want to waste less food and shop with less stress and save on their grocery budget PRICING 7-day free trial. After that: • Base — $9.99/month or $79.99/year (save 33%) — full planning, chat, imports, and grocery tools • Lorin's Go To Recipes — $4.99 one-time — a curated pack of tested family recipes • More Recipe Packs to Come!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ziggi's Coffee at none against Stella's 3. Ziggi's Coffee also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Stella's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
