You can choose ad-supported options or premium options that still cost less than Pepperplate. Pepperplate company moved all its existing users to a 14-day trial today.īut, while Pepperplate does provide an excellent service, recipe management is a competitive field with many alternatives. So going forward, the company intends to charge for access to its apps and services. Pepperplate hinted as much in a follow-up Facebook post. Trying to provide all those services with minimal ads is ultimately an unsustainable business. Add in the additional cost of hosting servers to store recipes (which can include images), and that price only balloons. Creating and maintaining apps for iOS, Android, Windows, and web browsers is not an inexpensive endeavor. But for anyone paying attention to the world of free services and apps, it’s not too surprising. But, don’t worry, if you decide to activate your subscription at a later date, your recipes will be waiting for you.Ĭonsidering there was no warning of upcoming subscriptions, that email may have been an unwelcome shock for existing users. With the subscription fees we will be able to support feature requests, updated apps, an expanded development team, customer support and improvements to the Pepperplate technology platform.Īfter your 14-day trial ends, you can switch over to a monthly or annual plan. You are now registered for a free 14-day Pepperplate trial!Īfter many requests to support Pepperplate’s progress, we are finally moving to a paid service model. Yesterday, users received a surprising email: It didn’t feature much advertising, promised not to sell your data, and was totally free. Pepperplate is a recipe management service that allows you to easily create recipes (or import them from websites), plan a meal schedule, and set up a grocery list based on that schedule.
If that sounds like too much, we have a few suggestions for you. The company had offered its apps and services for free and with minimal advertising for years, but going forward, the service will cost $3 a month or $33 a year.
Pepperplate, a popular and cross-platform recipe management app, announced yesterday that it’s changing to a subscription-based model.
