Pricing

A recipe app without a subscription.

Pay once. Keep everything.

Your recipe collection takes years to build. It shouldn’t live behind a monthly bill, or in a database you can’t open. Here’s how Kept compares with the other places recipes end up.

Kept vs. subscription recipe apps and notes apps.

“Typical” describes common patterns across the category, not any one app.

Why one purchase

No servers to run. No monthly bill.

Subscriptions usually pay for servers. Kept doesn’t have any: your recipes live in your iCloud, and syncing rides on Apple’s infrastructure you already have.

So you pay for the app once, the way you’d buy a cookbook. Try it with 10 recipes; if it earns a place in your kitchen, unlock the rest.

Moving your recipes to Kept.

Re-save from the source

Most saved recipes started on a website. Open the original and share it to Kept.

Paste the rest

Copy recipe text out of your old app or notes and paste it in. Kept sorts out ingredients and steps.

Scan the cards

The recipe box on the counter, too. Point the camera, check it over, and they’re in.

Already in Cooklang?

Link the folder and Kept uses it as is.

Pricing, answered.

Is there a free trial?

Better: save up to 10 recipes free, with no time limit. Unlimited recipes are a one-time $4.99.

Does one purchase cover iPhone, iPad and Mac?

Yes. Buy once with your Apple Account and it unlocks Kept on all of them.

What happens when I reach 10 recipes?

Kept stops adding new recipes until you unlock unlimited. Everything you’ve already saved stays open, editable and in your iCloud Drive.

Do recipes in linked folders count toward the 10?

Yes. Every recipe in your library counts, including ones in folders you’ve linked.

Can I bring recipes from another recipe app?

There’s no direct importer. Re-share the originals from the web, paste text, or scan cards. If your old app exports Cooklang, link that folder.
