Supercook alternatives (2026)
We make Fixins, so we’ve put it first. Every other app here is described as fairly as we can, from its own website or app store listing.
Updated
Supercook finds recipes from other websites that use the ingredients you tell it you have, and it’s free. If you’d rather fill your pantry with the camera than a checklist, Fixins scans your groceries and shows creator recipes you can cook tonight. Cooklist and KitchenPal also keep a pantry and match recipes to it, and BigOven and Samsung Food add planners and grocery lists.

First
The short version
What Supercook does
You add the ingredients you have from a list of 2,000+ or by saying them out loud, and Supercook shows recipes that use them, drawn from over 11 million recipes on 18,000 recipe websites. It runs on the web, iPhone, iPad and Android, and it’s free on the App Store.source 1source 2
What to look for instead
Decide how you want to tell the app what you have: typing, scanning barcodes, or linking store loyalty cards. Then decide what should happen when a recipe needs one more ingredient: nothing, a grocery list, or an order.
