ReciMe alternative — save recipes and track calories in one app
ReciMe grabs recipes from TikTok and Instagram. Swoodie imports from video and social posts too, then adds calorie tracking, recipe generation and shared planning.
The bottom line
ReciMe saves recipes from social well, but it doesn't generate them, track daily calories or plan together. Swoodie imports recipes too (5 free trial saves, then Premium) and adds the calorie counter, recipe generation and a couples mode. Prefer paying once? Swoodie Lite is a $9.99 one-time purchase that unlocks the whole app except the AI features. It also exports your log, weights and saves as CSV, so your data can leave with you.
ReciMe nails the "save a recipe from TikTok" flow. The limits show up fast: a handful of imports per week on free, a recent price hike, and no daily calorie tracking, photo logging or recipe generation.
Swoodie consolidates: import and adapt recipes (5 free trial saves, then Premium), generate new ones, track calories from a photo, and plan with a partner — one subscription.
