ReciMe alternative: WeekPlate — a free tier that actually works
ReciMe is hiding its free features. WeekPlate's free tier actually works — and it keeps working every week, not just on day one.
Every week, free:
- One full 7-day dinner plan — built on your device
- 3 meal swaps when you change your mind
- A grocery list sorted by aisle
No subscription. No account. Your recipes never leave with you — because they're already yours.
Get WeekPlate (iOS)
Search “WeekPlate” in the App Store and install — the free tier starts immediately, no sign-up screen in your way.
What the free week looks like
What you get without paying a cent
One full 7-day dinner plan
A complete week of dinners, built on your device — not a locked preview of a paid plan.
3 meal swaps every week
Changed your mind about Thursday? Swap any meal, up to three times a week, free.
A grocery list sorted by aisle
Your plan turns into a shopping list grouped by aisle, so the store takes half the time.
WeekPlate is made by the same team behind this site — that's why we can promise the free tier stays a free tier: no trial countdown, no “free” plan that turns out to be a preview.
Frequently asked questions
Is WeekPlate's free tier really free?
Yes. The free tier includes one full 7-day dinner plan and 3 meal swaps every week, plus the grocery list that comes with your plan. There is no subscription required to use it and no account to create.
What is the best free ReciMe alternative?
If you want a phone app, WeekPlate gives you a full week of dinner plans and 3 swaps weekly on its free tier, with no account. If you would rather stay out of apps entirely, a free printable weekly meal planner (like the ones on this site) covers the same habit on paper.
Does WeekPlate require an account?
No. WeekPlate has no account system — plans are built on your device and stay there. You can start planning right after installing.
Can I import my recipes into WeekPlate?
WeekPlate supports importing recipes from screenshots — a free way to bring favorites over from another app without retyping them. Search its library of over 500 built-in recipes as well, and drop any dish onto any night of your week.
What can I customize in WeekPlate?
Tell it how you eat — allergies, keto, vegetarian and other preferences shape the plans it builds. Every plan still ends in an aisle-sorted grocery list.
I just want a printable weekly planner instead. Is that free here?
Yes. This site offers free printable weekly meal planner templates — including versions with a grocery list — that print straight from your browser, plus a no-sign-up online planner. Nothing to install, data stays on your device.
Rather skip apps entirely? Print it.
If paywalls have you wary of recipe apps altogether, the simplest replacement is a printed weekly grid and a grocery list. Our templates are free, work in any browser, and print in one click.
