# Pestle vs Mela

https://getsaucepan.com/zh-hant/compare/pestle-vs-mela

Pestle and Mela both save from Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, save recipes from websites, plan meals, build a grocery list and have a cook mode. Pick Pestle if you want a design-led recipe manager with an Apple Watch app and a Chrome extension, and you are fine paying for Pro. Pick Mela if you want a quiet Apple-only library on iCloud with a one-time price and a Mac app. Its last App Store update was June 2025.

Tap a mark for the note. “Not found” means we looked on the app’s own pages and did not see it, not that it lacks it.

## Pestle 較具優勢的地方

- **Pantry.** Pantry list auto-crosses items off shopping list (free); barcode scan into pantry + expiry reminders (Pro) [docs.pestlechef.app](https://docs.pestlechef.app/) Mela: not found on its own pages
- **Apple Watch.** Apple Watch listed in App Store compatibility (watchOS 10.6+); watch features not described [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pestle-recipe-manager/id1574776971) Mela: no. Not listed in App Store compatibility (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch only)
- **Siri and Shortcuts.** Ask Siri what to make or how much of an ingredient; Shortcuts actions incl. adding to Meal Plan [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pestle-recipe-manager/id1574776971) Mela: not found on its own pages

## Mela 較強的地方

- **Mac and iPad.** iPad (universal iOS app) and native Mac app (separate purchase) [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mela-recipe-manager/id1568924476?mt=12) Pestle: partly. iPad yes (Handoff between iPhone/iPad); Mac only via iPad app on Apple silicon ('Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS')

## A third option: Saucepan

Saucepan is our app. It has ChatGPT and Claude connectors, MCP access for other AI apps, interactive cards in the chat, receipt scanning, recipes from what you have and nutrition estimates, which neither Pestle nor Mela shows on its own pages.

What to know first: it launches on November 13, 2026, so it has no track record or ratings yet. It is on iPhone, and runs on iPad. Android is coming soon. Where Pestle or Mela is ahead of it: an Apple Watch app and Mac and iPad apps.
