Switch from ReciMe to Pluck
ReciMe is a popular recipe saver that already imports from social media, reads video audio and scans photos. People switch to Pluck for what's left: reading on-screen text and video frames, an AI cooking assistant inside cook mode, and paid plans from $2.99/month. Here's how to bring your recipes along.
How to export your ReciMe recipes
Open ReciMe on your device
Launch the ReciMe app on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device. Make sure you're signed in to the account that holds your recipe collection.
Look for an export option
Check ReciMe's settings and help pages for an export or data download option for your account.
Export your recipes
If ReciMe offers an export, save the file and note its format. If it doesn't, keep a list of the original links of the recipes you want to keep - you'll share those to Pluck in the next step.
Import into Pluck
Pluck's importer reads Paprika, Mela, Crouton, CopyMeThat and JSON-LD files today; ReciMe's own export format is not one of them yet. If your export is JSON-LD, open Settings → Data → Import Recipes, choose JSON-LD and load it. If it is not, share each recipe's original link to Pluck instead and the AI re-extracts it (notes you added in ReciMe won't come along).
Import to Pluck - available now
Import is live in Pluck for Paprika, Mela, Crouton, CopyMeThat and JSON-LD files. ReciMe's own format is not supported yet, so a JSON-LD export loads straight in and anything else is fastest re-extracted from the original links.
Why people switch from ReciMe
Reads what's on screen, not just what's said
ReciMe reads the caption and falls back to the video's audio. Pluck reads the caption and audio too, and also watches the frames and reads on-screen text - the part that matters on music-only videos with the quantities as text overlays. Instagram and TikTok photo carousels come out as one recipe.
A cheaper paid plan
ReciMe Plus is about $39.99/year in the US. Pluck's Light plan is $2.99/month or $23.99/year, AI cooking assistant included. (ReciMe's free plan, 5 imports a week, is more generous than Pluck's 3 extractions a month.)
AI cooking assistant
On paid plans, Pluck's AI assistant answers questions about the recipe you're cooking - substitutions, scaling, unit conversion, technique - right from the step you're on in cook mode. We found no chat assistant in ReciMe.
Frequently asked questions
Can I import my ReciMe recipes into Pluck?
Pluck imports Paprika, Mela, Crouton, CopyMeThat and JSON-LD files today, and ReciMe's own format is not on that list yet - a JSON-LD export loads straight in, anything else is fastest re-extracted from the original links. Either way, start here: download Pluck on Android or download Pluck on iOS.
How does Pluck's AI compare to ReciMe's?
Both use AI to import from social media and photos, and both use a video's audio. Pluck also reads the video frames and on-screen text and turns carousels into one recipe. ReciMe has a web app, Pinterest import, nutrition and grocery delivery, which Pluck doesn't. See our detailed comparison.
Will my recipe categories and tags transfer?
Yes, for every format Pluck imports: tags, notes and source URLs all come across, and an export's categories are mapped to Pluck's flexible tagging system. Recipes you re-extract from their original links get tags derived from the recipe itself.
Does Pluck work on both iOS and Android?
Yes. Pluck is available on iOS and Android phones. Unlike ReciMe, it has no web app.
What does Pluck cost?
Pluck has a free tier (3 extractions/month, 10 recipes), Light at $2.99/mo (10 extractions, AI cooking assistant), Plus at $6.99/mo (50 extractions, 100 AI messages, 500 recipes), and Pro at $11.99/mo (200 extractions, 300 AI messages, unlimited recipes). Annual plans save up to 37%.
