Yummly shows you recipes. FOODIE makes them yours.
Yummly is a beautiful magazine of other people's recipes. FOODIE is a personal kitchen — yours.
unique to FOODIE
Yummly is a recipe discovery platform with a polished feed and a paid Pro tier. It's pleasant to scroll. But it's not really where you keep your recipes, plan your week, or cook. Recipes you save live in Yummly's catalog, your meal plan is locked behind Pro, and there's no real way to save the chaotic recipes from Reels, TikTok, or a foreign-language blog.
Yummly is a place to scroll food. FOODIE is a place to cook it.
Why FOODIE
Made for the way you cook.
Save anything, not just Yummly's catalog.
FOODIE pulls recipes from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, screenshots, photos, and any URL. Yummly mostly cares about its own feed.
AI that creates recipes for you.
FOODIE's AI invents original recipes. Yummly recommends recipes that already exist in its database.
Tap-to-advance, hands-friendly cooking.
Tap anywhere on the screen to move forward — big text, smart highlights, screen always on. Yummly's cooking mode is closer to a slideshow.
A journal, not a feed.
FOODIE is calm, intentional, made for cooks. Yummly is built to keep you scrolling.
