Pay for the volume you actually share.
Casual, Enthusiast, and Power are all flat monthly plans with a fixed monthly import quota. Power gives you 500 imports a month for one fixed price — nothing to track, no per-import billing. The free tier gives you 5 imports every month with no card. Whether you pay monthly or annually, if your home agent saves cloud cost you earn a renewal discount — switch the calculator below to see what that might look like.

Project your renewal discount
Monthly and annual plans can earn a home-agent renewal discount. Monthly is a flat 10% off once your agent serves at least half your imports; annual is banded 10–30% based on how much cloud cost your agent saves us. Switch the toggle to see what you might pay.
Casual is cloud-only — no agent path, no renewal discount.
Projected renewal: A$105
Projected renewal: A$217.50
A few caveats. Your actual discount is computed from real import_step_costs over the cycle, not from this estimate. Monthly plans earn a flat 10% once your agent serves at least half your imports (your first cycle earns nothing); annual plans are banded, and on the annual path an A$2 absolute-savings floor applies, including to the 10% annual agent floor — very low import volume may not clear it. The monthly gate has no floor. Your agent must be active (heartbeat within 7 days) at sweep time.
Pauses when you do.
Pausing a subscription keeps your library and your sync targets. We don't lock you out of recipes you've already imported.
No card for the free tier.
5 imports every month, no card required, no trial timer. Sign up with a friend's referral link and you both get a small import bonus — and your friend keeps earning as you cook. Decide whether SavePlate fits how you cook before you pay.
Renewal discount with the home agent.
Run the home agent and you earn a renewal discount on Enthusiast or Power. Monthly plans get a flat 10% off whenever your agent handled at least half your imports over the cycle. Annual plans are banded 10–30% based on how much cloud cost your agent saved us, with an A$2 absolute-savings floor that applies to the annual path (the monthly gate has no floor). No coupon, no support ticket — the daily sweep applies it on your next renewal automatically. Casual is cloud-only, so no agent path applies.
faq
Common questions.
- What makes SavePlate different from other recipe-import apps?
- The short version: where your library lives + who fetches the reel. SavePlate stores the library locally on your phone (SQLite) and syncs to a recipe manager you already run — Mealie or Tandoor — that never needs to be reachable from the internet. The fetch happens on your phone using your own Instagram session, or on a home Docker agent you control (the same agent that earns the renewal discount on monthly and annual plans). Cloud-hosted recipe apps store your library in the vendor's database and fetch reels from their own servers — a different architecture with different trade-offs. SavePlate is built for people who want the library on hardware they control. See the landing page comparison table for the row-by-row.
- What if I cancel — do I lose my library?
- No. Your library is on your phone in a local SQLite database; cancelling cancels the import quota, not the recipes you already have. Sync to Mealie / Tandoor keeps working on the recipes you imported before cancellation. Unlike cloud-stored alternatives where your library is in their database, leaving doesn't make your recipes disappear.
- What's the refund policy?
- If you signed up within the last 7 days and you're unsatisfied, email [email protected] from the account address. Outside of that window, refunds are at our discretion and we generally grant them only for material service unavailability — see the Terms for the full rules.
- Which currencies do you bill in?
- AUD only for now — every charge runs in Australian dollars regardless of where you're paying from, and your issuing bank handles the FX conversion at their rate. Our Merchant of Record takes care of GST / VAT / sales tax. Native multi-currency billing (separate USD / EUR / GBP) is on the roadmap once volume justifies the extra routing work.
- How does the agent discount actually work?
- It depends on your billing period. Every import records its fetch mode plus a counterfactual cloud cost (what we would have paid had we run it cloud-side), and a daily sweep evaluates your agent's contribution over your current cycle.
Monthly plans use a simple yes/no gate: if your home agent served at least half (≥ 50%) of your fetchable imports over the trailing month, your next invoice is a flat 10% off — no banding. If it served less, you pay full price that cycle. Your first monthly cycle always earns nothing: the agent has to complete a full trailing month before the sweep counts it, so your first eligible discount lands on the invoice after your second renewal.
Annual plans are banded by a savings ratio (what % of our cloud cost your agent saved us) over the year, which maps to a discount on your next renewal:
On the annual path, any active agent (heartbeat within 7 days) that clears the A$2 absolute-savings floor also earns a 10% floor — applied even when the savings ratio is below the 10% band-1 threshold. That A$2 floor is part of the annual banding; the monthly gate has no floor. Either way the discount is applied automatically on your next renewal — no coupon, no support ticket.Annual plans — banded savings ratio Savings ratio Discount on next renewal ≥ 10% 20% ≥ 15% 25% ≥ 20% 30% - Does it work with TikTok and YouTube Shorts?
- Yes. All three platforms (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts) ship at launch. The Instagram path uses your own session via the home agent (most reliable); TikTok and YouTube Shorts use a cloud-side yt-dlp fetch (Mode C) which Just Works on public videos.
- What happens if a platform breaks the fetcher?
- We monitor success rates per platform and patch the fetcher when it regresses. If a reel fails, retry the next day — most platform-side issues are routed around quickly. Persistent failures don't burn against your monthly quota.
