## How we ranked

A free plan is required. The score counts what each app can do, not what its free plan includes, because the apps describe their limits in different ways. Read each free plan’s limit below before you choose.

- To qualify, an app must have “Free plan” (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 8 features: Save from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Save from websites, Scan cookbook pages and cards, Meal plan, Grocery list, Shared with a household, Cook mode and Timers. Most is 16.
- 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.

### When was this checked?

Feature marks were read from each app’s App Store listing, website and help pages on November 1, 2026, and prices, platforms and update dates on November 4, 2026. Apps change often.

**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.
