Yummly Alternative: What to Use Now That Yummly Is Gone

Yummly.com now redirects to KitchenAid and the app is gone. Three replacements checked on their own pages, with prices, and one app to skip.

Key Takeaways

  • Yummly no longer works as an app or an account: yummly.com, including its login page, permanently redirects to KitchenAid's recipe section, and Apple's US App Store has no app called Yummly (checked 21 September 2026).
  • A saved Yummly recipe box cannot be opened from yummly.com any more, because there is no sign-in page left to open it with.
  • Three replacements, by what you used Yummly for: Plan to Eat for planning the week, Paprika for keeping a recipe box, AnyList for the shopping list.
  • Skip Mealime: its own closing page says it will be discontinued as of October 21, 2026.

What Happened to Yummly?

Here is what can be checked today, 21 September 2026, on the official addresses themselves. A request to yummly.com returns a permanent redirect (HTTP 301) to kitchenaid.com/recipes. So do yummly.com/recipes and yummly.com/login. A search of Apple's App Store index for "yummly" in the United States returns nine apps, and none of them is Yummly.

What that means in practice: Yummly's address now leads to KitchenAid's recipe pages, and there is no Yummly sign-in left. If you had recipes saved in a Yummly collection and did not copy them out, yummly.com no longer offers a way to reach them. If you remember a recipe's name, search the web for it: every app below can save a recipe from a web page once you find it again.

We tried to load KitchenAid's recipe pages to see what they offer former Yummly users, but kitchenaid.com refused our request (HTTP 403). So this page says nothing about KitchenAid's own features. For Yummly next to the other planners that closed, and what each closure did to saved recipes, see Meal Planning Apps That Shut Down: Yummly, PlateJoy, Forks and Now Mealime.

Pick a Yummly Alternative by What You Used It For

There is no single Yummly replacement, because people used it for different jobs. If it was where you found and saved recipes, you want an app that clips recipes from any website. If it was where you planned the week, you want a calendar that turns recipes into a shopping list. If it was mostly your grocery list, a list app is enough.

AppBest if Yummly was yourPrice, from the app's own page
Plan to EatWeekly meal plannerStart free with no card, then $5.95 a month or $49 a year
PaprikaRecipe boxPaid; each version (iOS, Android, Mac, Windows) is sold separately
AnyListShopping listFree plan; AnyList Complete $9.99 a year for one person, $14.99 a year for a household

Plan to Eat: If Yummly Was Your Weekly Planner

Plan to Eat is built around three pieces: an online recipe organizer that saves recipes while you browse, a meal planning calendar, and an automated shopping list laid out aisle by aisle. Its homepage says you can start for free with no card details, and that it costs $5.95 a month or $49 a year if you choose to subscribe.

Best fit: you want to drag recipes onto days of the week and get one grocery list out of it, which is the part of Yummly that planners miss most.

Paprika: If Yummly Was Your Recipe Box

Paprika describes itself as an app that helps you organize your recipes, make meal plans and create grocery lists. Its built-in browser saves recipes from anywhere on the web, and its cloud sync keeps recipes, lists and plans the same on all your devices. Its site notes that each version of Paprika is sold separately, so a phone and a laptop mean two purchases.

Best fit: you mostly saved recipes you found elsewhere and want them in one place that no company can switch off with a redirect.

AnyList: If Yummly Was Mostly Your Shopping List

AnyList is a grocery list app with a free plan. Its features page lists AnyList Complete at $9.99 a year for an individual or $14.99 a year for a household, which adds cloud backup and the rest of the paid features on top of the free lists.

Best fit: you used Yummly's shopping list more than its recipes and want a list you can share with the people you shop for.

Why Not Mealime?

Mealime is the next name in many Yummly alternative lists, but Mealime's own closing page says: "Mealime will be discontinued as of October 21, 2026." Moving your recipes there now means moving them twice. If you already use it, Mealime Is Shutting Down: What to Use Instead covers what to save before that date.

Looking for a Yummly Thermometer Alternative?

Some searches for a Yummly alternative are about a thermometer, not recipes. This page does not cover thermometers. We could not reach an official KitchenAid page on the subject (kitchenaid.com returned HTTP 403 to our request), so we are not going to guess what works with it now. Ask KitchenAid support directly.

Where BeCute Fits

BeCute, the site you are reading, is building AI meal plans and a habit tracker. It is in early access and not yet on the App Store, so there is nothing to install today, and it is not a place to move a Yummly recipe box into. If you want to try it when it opens, leave your email below or on the BeCute home page: you join the early access waitlist and get a 7-day meal plan you can cook this week.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Yummly still available?

No. yummly.com, yummly.com/recipes and the yummly.com login page all return a permanent redirect to KitchenAid's recipe section, and a search of Apple's US App Store for Yummly returns no app by that name. Both checked 21 September 2026.

A reader who lands on Yummly Alternative lands on a site for an app that does not exist yet: BeCute is being built by our team, and nothing here is software you can install; BeCute is not yet on the App Store or Google Play, so what you can use here today is the free 5 meals a day schedule at becute.app/tools/5-meals-a-day-schedule - no email, no account, nothing to install - while the early access waitlist at becute.app covers the app.

Can I get my saved Yummly recipes back?

Not through yummly.com: its login page now redirects to KitchenAid's recipe section, so there is no Yummly sign-in left. We could not load KitchenAid's pages to check whether it offers anything to former Yummly users, so we do not claim either way.

For the money side of Yummly Alternative, the answer from us is that BeCute is free during early access, and free is a promise about launch rather than a product you can obtain today; the app is not yet on the App Store or Google Play.

What is the best free Yummly alternative?

Of the three apps on this page, AnyList has a free plan, and Plan to Eat lets you start free with no card before its $5.95 a month or $49 a year subscription. Paprika is paid, and each version of it is sold separately.

If Yummly Alternative has you comparing tools, compare them on what they do today, and what BeCute has today is not an app, and the $5.95 a month above is this page's own number rather than a default; the app is not yet on the App Store or Google Play, so the early access waitlist at becute.app is all there is to join today.
