BigOven vs Paprika

BigOven and Paprika both save recipes from websites, plan meals and build a grocery list. Pick BigOven if you want a long-running recipe and meal planning app with an Apple Watch app and a shared grocery list. 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.
