Samsung Food vs Paprika

Samsung Food and Paprika both save recipes from websites, plan meals, build a grocery list, track a pantry and have a cook mode. Pick Samsung Food if you want free meal planning with shared lists on Android and the web as well as iPhone. Pick Paprika if you want to pay once, you cook with an Apple Watch or on Windows, or your library already lives in Paprika. Paprika 4 is in beta and says premium features will need a subscription afterwards.
