Too many recipes saved in too many places? Between Instagram posts, TikTok videos, Facebook shares, YouTube, browser bookmarks, screenshots, and handwritten notes, it's easy for a great recipe to get lost. Souschef brings them all together in one free app for iOS and Android. Import recipes in a few taps, keep them beautifully organized, and enjoy a smoother cooking experience with helpful AI and smart cooking tools. Shared recipe links also open in a lightweight web viewer for anyone who doesn't have the app.

## Where can I import recipes from?

Souschef can pull recipes from a wide range of places, including:

* **Instagram** — [posts and reels](/importing/import-from-instagram)
* **TikTok** — [recipe videos](/importing/import-from-tiktok)
* **Facebook** — [posts, videos, and reels](/importing/import-from-facebook)
* **YouTube** — [cooking videos](/importing/import-from-youtube)
* **Pinterest** — [recipe pins](/importing/import-from-pinterest)
* **Recipe websites and food blogs** — [almost any site](/importing/import-from-website)
* **Photos and screenshots** — [scan any image](/importing/import-from-photos)
* **Plain text** — [paste text or write manually](/importing/import-from-plain-text)

We're always working to expand support for more sources. If there's a platform you'd love to see added, drop us a note at [team@nekonote.co](mailto:team@nekonote.co).

## Is Souschef free?

Yes! Souschef is free to download and includes almost all of its features.

Free users can import up to **3 recipes each week** and may see ads during recipe imports. Every recipe you import is yours to keep — recipes don't expire, and the weekly limit only affects new imports. You can keep viewing, organizing, editing, searching, and cooking from everything already in your library.

Souschef Plus removes the weekly import limit and provides an ad-free import experience — **\$2.99 USD/month** or **\$24.99 USD/year** (with a **7-day free trial** on the yearly plan).

Souschef Plus also helps support ongoing development of the app.

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.

See [Free vs Souschef Plus](/billing/free-plan) for a complete comparison, or [About Souschef Plus](/billing/subscription-benefits) for pricing details.

## Where is Souschef available?

The full Souschef experience is available on **iOS** and **Android**:

* 🍎 **iPhone & iPad** — [Download on the App Store](https://apps.apple.com/app/souschef-recipe-organizer/id6468939420)
* 🤖 **Android phones & tablets** — [Get it on Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.souschef.app)

Souschef also has a lightweight web version for viewing shared recipes. When someone opens a shared recipe link in their browser, they can read the recipe, adjust serving sizes, and switch measurement systems — no app install required.

To import recipes, organize your library, and access the full feature set, use the iOS or Android app. See [supported devices](/getting-started/supported-devices) for details.
