Pestle vs Mela

Pestle and Mela both save from Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, save recipes from websites, plan meals, build a grocery list and have a cook mode. 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. Pick Mela if you want a quiet Apple-only library on iCloud with a one-time price and a Mac app. Its last App Store update was June 2025.

A third option: Saucepan

Saucepan is our app. It has ChatGPT and Claude connectors, MCP access for other AI apps, interactive cards in the chat, receipt scanning, recipes from what you have and nutrition estimates, which neither Pestle nor Mela shows on its own pages.

What to know first: it launches on November 13, 2026, so it has no track record or ratings yet. It is on iPhone, and runs on iPad. Android is coming soon. Where Pestle or Mela is ahead of it: an Apple Watch app and Mac and iPad apps.
