- When does CookSnap launch?
- CookSnap is currently in early access. Join the waitlist and you'll be notified the moment the iOS app launches on the App Store. Pro subscribers get priority access.
- Is CookSnap free?
- Yes. CookSnap is free to download and use. The free plan gives you ingredient scanning, up to 5 meal matches per scan, web recipe search, and more. CookSnap Pro unlocks the full experience including unlimited scans, advanced nutrition, and exclusive features.
- How does the ingredient scanning work?
- Open CookSnap and point your camera at any ingredient or group of ingredients. The app detects them in under 15 seconds using AI-powered computer vision, then matches your exact ingredients against a curated recipe database and shows every meal you can realistically make right now — no substitutions, no guessing.
- Are the recipes real or AI-generated?
- CookSnap uses a curated database of real recipes submitted by home cooks and verified chefs. Recipes are not AI-generated. Every result is a real dish with real steps, real photos, and real macro data.
- What diets and filters does CookSnap support?
- CookSnap supports 15+ dietary filters including vegan, vegetarian, keto, gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo, high-protein, and low-carb. Set your filters once in your profile and you'll never see a recipe that doesn't fit your diet.
- What's the difference between Scan, Multi, and Scan Pro?
- Scan mode takes a single photo. Multi mode lets you take up to 3 photos to capture more ingredients at once. Scan Pro (available on the Pro plan) lets you take up to 5 photos and scans packaged foods via barcode as well.
- Does it work if I only have a few ingredients?
- Yes — CookSnap is specifically built for this. Even with 2 or 3 ingredients, CookSnap will find real recipes that match, and optionally suggest up to 3 common pantry additions (free plan) or 6 additions (Pro) that would expand your options further.
- Can I save recipes I like?
- Yes. Save any meal to your library, organize them into custom folders, and access them anytime — even offline. Free users get 25 saves. Pro users get unlimited.
- What is the Creator Program?
- The CookSnap Creator Program lets home cooks and chefs submit original recipes to the app, earn rewards every time another user cooks their dish, and build a following of real fans inside CookSnap. Apply at cooksnapapp.com/creators.
- Will there be an Android version?
- CookSnap launches on iOS first. Android is planned for a future release. Join the waitlist to be notified when Android becomes available.
