Crouton vs Pestle

Crouton and Pestle both save recipes from websites, plan meals, build a grocery list and have a cook mode. Pick Crouton if you use a Mac or an Apple Watch in the kitchen, or you want SharePlay cooking, and you keep everything on iCloud. Pick Pestle if you want a design-led recipe manager with an Apple Watch app and a Chrome extension, and you are fine paying for Pro.
