Free users can save 5 imported recipes per rolling 7 days. An import counts toward that limit only when you tap Save. Reviewing a recipe and leaving without saving does not use a slot. Failed imports do not count. Once you have used all 5, you cannot import any more recipes until a slot frees up or you upgrade to Souschef Plus for unlimited imports. Existing saved recipes remain available.

​
When an import counts

After you paste a link, share a post, scan a photo, or paste text, Souschef shows a preview. You can check the title, ingredients, and steps before you decide.
  • Saving uses one import. Tap Save to add the recipe to your library. That uses one of your 5 saved imports in the current rolling 7 days.
  • Leaving without saving does not count. Close the preview or go back, and that attempt does not use a slot.
  • Failed imports do not count. If Souschef cannot extract a recipe, you do not lose a slot. See why imports sometimes fail.
This applies to every supported source.

​
What happens when you have used all 5 imports

After you save 5 recipes in the current 7-day window, you cannot import any more recipes. The next time you try, the app shows a message and the import does not start. You can still view, cook, edit, organize, and use existing saved recipes. You just need to wait for imports to refresh or upgrade to Plus for unlimited imports. You can:
  • View, cook, edit, organize, and use every recipe already in your library
  • Wait for imports to refresh — 7 days after an earlier saved import
  • Upgrade to Souschef Plus for unlimited imports
See Recipe import limits for how the rolling 7-day window works.
