Free users can save 5 imported recipes per rolling 7 days. A recipe counts as an import only when you tap Save. Previewing a recipe and leaving without saving does not count. Failed or unsupported imports do not count either. Creating or editing a recipe you already saved does not count. Cooking Mode, grocery lists, meal planning, cooking journal, collections, search, editing, and sharing are free. The limit is only about how many new recipes you can save. Souschef Plus gives you unlimited recipe imports. It does not unlock separate cooking tools.

How the free import limit works

  • Free users can save 5 imported recipes in any rolling 7-day window, from any supported source — Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, recipe websites, photos, ChatGPT, Claude, and pasted text.
  • Only recipes you save count toward the limit. Previewing a recipe without tapping Save does not. Failed or unsupported imports do not count either. See How import quota works.
  • The limit only applies to new recipe imports. It does not limit how many recipes you can keep in your library.
  • Existing saved recipes remain available even after you hit the limit.
The count uses a rolling 7-day window: each saved import unlocks another import slot 7 days later. You do not wait for a calendar week to reset all at once.

​
What happens when you reach your 5 imports

When you’ve saved 5 recipes in the current 7-day window, you cannot import any more recipes until a slot frees up. You’ll see a message in the app the next time you try to import. 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. From there you can:
  • Keep using your library — view, cook, edit, organize, and use every recipe you’ve already saved.
  • Wait for imports to refresh — 7 days after an earlier saved import, that slot becomes available again.
  • Upgrade to Souschef Plus for unlimited imports.
