Your recipes, shared with your family
Looking for a KptnCook alternative?
KptnCook is good for quick inspiration from its own recipe catalogue. If you would rather plan the week from the recipes your family already loves, and share the list with everyone at home, Culiplan does that for free.
What KptnCook does well
KptnCook is a German recipe app, majority-owned by Miele, with a catalogue of quick recipes. For everyday inspiration it is a good fit.
Why people look around
The free version is limited to a few recipes a day, and the rest needs a premium subscription. Reviewers also mention that there is no family sharing.
