Pricing FAQ

Is Platefolio really free, or is it a trial?

Free means free forever, not a trial. The Line Cook plan has no time limit: unlimited recipes, unlimited manual entry, unlimited saved public Platefolio recipes, every display format, and no ads. The only caps are 25 lifetime imports, 50 stored images, and 1 custom cookbook. You can upgrade to the Head Chef plan to lift all those limits, but you will never be forced to.

What does Head Chef add over the Line Cook free plan?

Unlimited recipe imports instead of 25, unlimited photo storage, unlimited cookbooks instead of 1, and sharing your whole recipe collection with up to 5 people. Every display format, cook mode, and saving public Platefolio recipes are already free and unlimited on both plans.

Is Head Chef $12 a year per person, or per household?

Per household. $12 a year covers everyone you invite, up to 5 people sharing one recipe collection, for one bill instead of five separate accounts. You get 5 paid accounts for the price of one. No limits for any of the household members.

Can I cancel, and what happens to my recipes if I do?

Cancel anytime from your account settings. Your recipes stay yours either way: if you drop back to Line Cook, everything you saved is still there, just capped at the free plan's limits going forward.
