# Saucepan vs Cookpad

Cookpad is built around a global community of home cooks who publish recipes and post photos of what they made, with a recipe collection, weekly menu and shopping list. Saucepan saves recipes from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, Facebook, websites, cookbook pages, handwritten cards, screenshots, shows what you can make tonight, and cooks hands-free. Choose Saucepan if you want a pantry filled by scanning a receipt, Cook Mode with timers that ring even on silent, and Live Activities and widgets.
