MasterCook Shutdown – The Best Meal Planning Alternative

Find Your New Meal Planning Home with Plan to Eat

With MasterCook’s recent shutdown, we know many of you are searching for a new meal planning app to call home.

Here’s what former MasterCook customers are saying about Plan to Eat:

“[The Plan to Eat] web recipe clipper is waaaaay more accurate than MasterCook’s ever was and yours also imports recipes from significantly more websites than MasterCook did.“

“I can’t believe that I was happy with MasterCook when your software can do things like take a photo of a handwritten recipe card on my phone and it just converts everything and adds it to my recipes. Genius!“

If you’re a former MasterCook customer looking for an alternative app to simplify your meal planning, we’re here to help. Plan to Eat offers everything you need to make meal planning streamlined, organized, and fun.
