Read full descriptionHide full description
Chefling turns a few simple choices into a full week of meals, built around your supermarket, your budget and the way you actually eat. Tell Chefling where you shop, how many people you cook for, what you can spend, what you cannot eat and which appliances you own. It picks the week from a catalogue of over two thousand recipes, prices every ingredient and hands you a shopping list already sorted by aisle. WHAT CHEFLING DOES - A full week of breakfasts, lunches and dinners in under half a minute - Real prices, from published national averages and live supermarket data - A shopping list sorted by aisle, with shared ingredients merged into one line - Quick breakfasts and lunches on weekdays, the longer cooking at the weekend - Swap any dish you do not fancy, and keep the ones you love for next week - A pantry you fill yourself, so the app knows what you already have - Vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, low-carb, diabetic-friendly, PCOS-friendly, anti-inflammatory and low-FODMAP BUILT AROUND YOUR BUDGET Set what you want to spend and Chefling aims for it rather than under it. The figure you see is the till figure: whole packs, not the fraction a recipe uses. Nobody buys a third of a jar. ALLERGIES TAKEN SERIOUSLY Declare an allergy and Chefling filters every recipe against an ingredient table before a dish is ever suggested. Always read the label on what you buy: no app can see inside a packet. NO ACCOUNT NEEDED Chefling works the moment you open it. Your plan, your pantry and your favourites stay on your phone. CHEFLING PRO A 3-day free trial, then 9.99 USD a week or 19.99 USD a month. The subscription renews automatically unless you turn renewal off at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel it any time in your Apple ID settings. Terms of Use: https://clumsycow.github.io/chefling-legal/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://clumsycow.github.io/chefling-legal/privacy.html

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: STRAUS at none against Chefling's 2. STRAUS also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Chefling's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
