Every feature free, no subscription
Looking for a Samsung Food alternative?
Samsung Food, formerly Whisk, has a free tier and the paid Food+ plan. Culiplan gives your whole household every feature for free, and it is built in Europe.
What Samsung Food does well
Samsung Food, formerly Whisk, offers a free tier, which makes it an easy place to start.
Why people look around
Some features need the Food+ subscription, about $6.99 a month. Others simply prefer an app built in Europe that asks for as little access to their phone as possible.

Move your recipes in four steps
- Gather the recipes you cook most: their website links, or the cookbook pages they come from.
- Create a free Culiplan account. When we ask where your recipes are now, choose where they are.
- Paste up to 10 links at once, or scan a cookbook page with your phone camera in the app. Mela and Paprika files import too.
- Add more later from Recipes, then Import.
You can try Culiplan alongside Samsung Food. Nothing changes in your Samsung Food account.
What Culiplan does
Plan the week
Fill your week with your own recipes, or let Culiplan suggest dinners for the empty days.
One shopping list
Turn the week into a shopping list that skips what is already in your pantry.
Share it at home
Everyone in your household sees the same plan and list on their own phone.
Free, every feature
No paywall, no card and no ads. On iOS, Android and the web, in 13 languages.
What we can't do
Culiplan doesn't connect to your Samsung Food account, so your recipes come over by link, photo or file, not in one click. Meal plans and shopping lists don't come along.
