**Souschef Plus** is the paid subscription that removes the free plan's weekly import limit and ads from the recipe import flow. Free users can import up to **3 recipes per week** and may see ads during recipe imports; Souschef Plus gives you unlimited imports and an ad-free import experience.

Every recipe you import is yours to keep. Imported recipes don't expire, and reaching the free weekly limit only affects **new imports** — you can still view, organize, edit, search, and cook from everything already in your library.

Souschef is an independently built app. Souschef Plus helps cover the cost of running recipe imports, keeps the free plan available for everyone, and supports ongoing improvements.

## What's included with Souschef Plus

* **Unlimited recipe imports** — no weekly cap
* **Ad-free import experience** — no ads during recipe imports
* **Supports reliable recipe imports** — helps fund the infrastructure behind imports
* **Helps fund ongoing improvements** while keeping the free plan available for everyone

Most features—including Cooking Mode, Shopping Lists, Pantry, Nutrition, AI Tagging, AI Recipe Translation, AI Discovery, and recipe organization—are available on the free plan. Plus primarily removes the weekly import limit and ads from the import flow.

## Pricing

* **\$2.99 USD/month**
* **\$24.99 USD/year** — includes a **7-day free trial**

Both plans include the same features. The yearly plan works out cheaper if you know you'd like to stick with Souschef Plus for a while. Cancel anytime during the free trial and you won't be charged.

## How billing works

Souschef Plus is billed entirely through your phone's app store — not by Souschef directly:

* **iPhone and iPad** — subscribe and manage your plan through the **App Store** (Apple ID)
* **Android** — subscribe and manage your plan through **Google Play**

Your payment method, billing history, and renewal settings all live inside your Apple or Google account.

## Why a paid subscription?

Souschef is built by a small, independent team. Every Souschef Plus subscription helps keep recipe imports reliable, supports free users, and allows the app to continue improving. If you enjoy using Souschef, subscribing is a direct way to help keep it going.
