How Prepbook compares
There are a lot of good ways to keep recipes. These pages lay out what each app is built for and how Prepbook approaches the same job, so you can tell quickly which one fits the way you cook.
Prepbook vs. Paprika
The grocery-list classic, next to a document-first cookbook that syncs everywhere.
Prepbook vs. AnyList
The shared shopping list with recipes attached, next to a cookbook built around the recipe itself.
Prepbook vs. Copy Me That
The free clipper built for volume, next to a cookbook built for the recipes you cook twice.
Prepbook vs. Mela
The Apple-only cookbook, next to one that opens anywhere from a link.
Prepbook vs. Notion
The DIY recipe database, next to an app that already knows what a recipe is.
What Prepbook is for
A recipe is a living thing. It picks up swaps, corrections and notes every time you cook it, until it reads the way you actually make it. Prepbook is built for that recipe.
- Write a recipe as a document, with nothing to fill in. Prepbook works out the ingredients, the amounts and which step uses what.
- Add one from a link, a video on YouTube, TikTok or Instagram, a photograph of a cookbook page, or an export from another app.
- Scale it to any amount and every number is rewritten in place, including the ones buried mid-sentence.
- Cook from it one step at a time, with the ingredients in reach, timers running and the screen awake.
- Tap Made this each time you cook it and the log fills up with every try. Version history keeps each earlier draft, so nothing you change is lost.
- Send it as a link that opens in any browser, with no app or account on the other end.
- Keep it on web, iOS and Android, free for your first 30 recipes.
