The Free Alternative to AnyList

AnyList is best known as a grocery list app, and its recipe features — importing recipes, meal planning, and more — live behind the AnyList Complete subscription. If you'd rather the core recipe features weren't gated behind a paywall, here's the comparison.

Common Questions

Do I need a subscription to import recipes with braisebook?

No. Importing recipes with AI, scaling them, and generating nutrition labels are all free features on braisebook.

Is braisebook a grocery list app like AnyList?

No. braisebook is focused on being your recipe collection — a place to store, scale, and cook from your recipes rather than manage a shopping list.

Can I bring my AnyList recipes into braisebook?

If you can export or view your AnyList recipes as text, paste that text into braisebook and AI will format it into ingredients and steps automatically.

Feature sets and pricing for third-party products change over time — always check AnyList's own site for their current offering. braisebook is not affiliated with or endorsed by AnyList.
