Good recipes deserve a home. DishCache is your personal recipe vault on iPhone, iPad, and DishCache.com. Save a recipe link, scan a printed page, or write one yourself. Keep the ingredients, directions, original source, and your own notes together in a collection you can actually find again. SAVE A KEEPER Share a recipe webpage from Safari or paste its link. DishCache captures the useful recipe details and keeps the source attached. If a capture needs cleanup, compare a fresh attempt, choose what to apply, and undo if needed. BRING YOUR RECIPE BOX ALONG Scan a printed recipe with the camera or choose up to six page photos. Review and edit the suggested ingredients and steps alongside the saved page images. Text recognition happens on your device; saved page copies sync with your account. Printed English recipes are the best starting point. Keep your original photos and check quantities, fractions, and handwriting carefully. MAKE IT YOURS Create and edit recipes in the app. Add a note for next time, fix a serving size, or update a cooking time. Move recipes to Trash and restore them as private recipes when you change your mind. FIND IT. COOK IT. Search titles, ingredients, instructions, notes, and sources.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DishCache at none against Recipe Notes's 4. DishCache also leads on update cadence (daily vs weekly). Recipe Notes's advantage is chart position (#109 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
