How we ranked
Reading recipes from social video is required, since that is the AI most of these apps lead with. Then connectors for ChatGPT, Claude and other assistants, cards in the chat, scanning, cooking from what you have, and nutrition.
- To qualify, an app must have “Save from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube” (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: Works in ChatGPT, Works in Claude, Other AI apps via MCP, Interactive cards in the chat, Save from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Scan cookbook pages and cards, What can I make from what I have and Nutrition. 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.
