ReciMe features checked on 10 November 2026 by Thien Nguyen, who makes Spices, against its official website, help pages and App Store listing. “Not listed” means we couldn’t find it there, not that the app lacks it. Prices change, so check the developer’s site.

Which one fits you?

ReciMe saves from more platforms and runs on Android and the web. Spices shares one library with the whole household and converts ovens and ingredient names as well as measures.

Choose Spices if

  • You want one library the whole household shares, rather than sending recipes one at a time.
  • You cook from recipes in other measures and want ovens, gas marks and ingredient names converted.
  • You don’t want a weekly import limit. Spices’ free plan caps recipes, not imports.

Choose ReciMe if

  • You save from Pinterest or Facebook as well.
  • Someone in the house uses Android or the web.
  • You want calories and macros.

Switching from ReciMe

Spices can’t read a ReciMe export file yet. For the recipes you cook most, share the original web page or post to Spices from Safari, Instagram or TikTok, or import a screenshot. Spices reads it, converts the amounts and marks anything it had to guess.

Spices imports full libraries from Paprika, Mela and Crouton.
