Respins

Respins is a recipe browser for the Ninja CREAMi. Browse a community catalog, filter it by what you actually have, and keep track of every pint in your freezer. FILTERS THAT ANSWER REAL QUESTIONS High protein, no refined sugar, dairy-free, vegan, or without one specific ingredient. The ingredient filters understand families, so "no gum" covers xanthan, guar and tara at once, and the app says so when it can't be sure about a recipe instead of guessing. YOUR FREEZER, IN ONE PLACE Start a freeze from any recipe and every pint gets a countdown. Ready pints rise to the top, and the app badge counts the ones waiting for a spin. MAKE IT YOURS Save favorites, sort them into collections, log every spin with notes, and write or import your own recipes. Paste a link and the recipe is read for you. Everything syncs across devices with a free account, and every recipe has a short link you can share. Nutrition is estimated from the ingredients themselves, not typed in by hand, so the macros hold up when you scale a recipe or swap the pint size.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Respins at none against Macro Dessert Lab's 1. Respins also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
