## How we ranked

Scanning a page or card is required. Then the other ways to bring recipes in, cooking from them, a bigger screen, and a free plan. The matrix says whether an app scans, not how well; we have not tested scan quality.

- To qualify, an app must have “Scan cookbook pages and cards” (Yes, not Partly). Closed apps and general tools like Apple Notes and Notion are left out.
- Score: 2 points for Yes, 1 for Partly, 0 for No, Not found or Coming, over 7 features: Scan cookbook pages and cards, Save from websites, Save from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Cook mode, Timers, Mac and iPad and Free plan. Most is 14.
- Apps with no App Store update since November 2025 go below the ones that are kept up.
- Ties go to the app with more US App Store ratings. Saucepan has none yet, so it goes below any app it ties with.
- “Not found” scores zero: we credit only what an app’s own pages show. That can undercount an app that does more than its pages say.

Saucepan is our app. It is scored from its own feature list by the same rule.

**2026년 11월 4일 확인.** 각 앱의 정보는 각자의 App Store 목록, 웹사이트, 도움말 페이지에서 가져왔으며 각 행 옆에 링크를 달았습니다. 기능 표시는 11월 1일에, 가격, 플랫폼, 업데이트 날짜는 11월 4일에 확인했습니다. “찾지 못함”은 해당 페이지에서 찾지 못했다는 뜻이지 앱에 그 기능이 없다는 뜻이 아닙니다. 앱은 자주 바뀝니다.
