> Whisk became Samsung Food in 2023. Here are five recipe apps that replace it, compared on saving TikTok and Reels recipes, planning, price and store ratings.

## Alternatives to samsung-food

**Winner:** recime

**Verdict:** Pick ReciMe if your recipes arrive as TikToks, Reels and YouTube clips, because it is the only app here whose own site lists those sources and it keeps the planner free. Pick Plan to Eat if the calendar and household sharing were your reason for using Whisk. Pick Paprika to stop paying monthly. Samsung Food is still a fine free app, so do not leave on principle: leave because a specific job, like video recipes or batch cooking, is not getting done.

**Methodology:** This comparison is desk research, not a month of cooking with each app. On 7 November 2026 we read each product's official site and pricing page, its store listing for ratings, and independent reviews for known limits. Prices are US figures and change often, so check your own store. We scored each app out of 5 on fit as a Whisk replacement: saving recipes from the web and from social posts, meal planning and lists, price fairness, platform reach and how users rate it. Nobody paid for a placement and none of these links carries an affiliate tag. Where an app's own site does not confirm a feature, we say so instead of assuming it.

### Per-product notes

- **recime** — *Our pick*, best for: Saving recipes from TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, score: 4.5/5
  The closest match for anyone who finds recipes in clips, with a planner that stays free.
- **crouton** — best for: Apple fans who want a one-time purchase, score: 4/5
  A tidy Apple-only choice, best for cooks who work from printed cookbooks.
- **plan-to-eat** — best for: Households that plan the week together, score: 4.4/5
  The sharpest planner here, and the best swap if your Whisk use was mostly the calendar.
- **copy-me-that** — best for: The cheapest way to start with a free web clipper, score: 3.8/5
  A fair free starter, but it will not read a video for you.
- **samsung-food** — best for: Free planning, shopping lists and nutrition in one app, score: 4.2/5
  Still a solid free hub, but the Whisk you remember now serves Samsung's kitchen strategy.
- **paprika-recipe-manager** — best for: A one-time purchase and a mature web clipper, score: 4.4/5
  Best for blog recipes and people who hate subscriptions, weakest for video.

## FAQ

### Is Whisk the same as Samsung Food?

Yes. Samsung bought Whisk in 2019 and renamed it Samsung Food in 2023. Existing Whisk accounts and saved recipes carried over to the new app.

### Is Whisk still available?

Not under that name. The app now ships as Samsung Food on iPhone, Android and the web, and its homepage still says Whisk app is now Samsung Food.

### What is the best free alternative to Whisk?

Copy Me That is free up to 40 recipes with every feature. ReciMe is free with 5 imports per week and keeps its planner and grocery list free. Samsung Food itself also has a free tier.

### Which Whisk alternative saves recipes from TikTok and Instagram?

ReciMe lists Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Pinterest and YouTube on its own site. Plan to Eat lists Instagram, TikTok and Pinterest in its clipper. Test one clip with spoken amounts before paying.

### Which app is the best Whisk alternative for meal planning?

Plan to Eat. It is calendar-first, shares one account across a household and builds the list by store and aisle. It costs $49 a year after a 14-day trial.

### Is there a Whisk alternative with no subscription?

Paprika is a one-time purchase per platform, and Crouton Plus is $24.99 once on Apple devices. Both skip the monthly fee, but neither reads videos.

### How do I move my Whisk recipes to another app?

We could not confirm a one-click bulk export in Samsung Food. Most alternatives import from a recipe URL, so open your 20 most-cooked recipes and re-save them, then check quantities.
