What "free" actually means here
Plenty of recipe apps use "free" loosely. Here's what it means with us.
No ads, ever
Free users and Premium users get the same ad-free experience. We don't sell your attention.
Your recipes stay yours
If you cancel Premium or never subscribe, you keep every recipe you've saved. No hostage software.
No credit card to start
Download the app, save recipes, use it forever — without ever entering payment info.
Free vs Premium, line by line
No fine print. No "Premium-only" features hiding in screenshots.

Pricing questions
The straight answers.
Yes. You can download Aldenté and use the core features — saving recipes, organizing cookbooks, following friends, cooking from your library — without paying a cent, ever. Premium adds tools for serious home cooks (pantry tracking, smart grocery lists, ingredient scaling, all six chef characters), but it's optional.
No. Aldenté is ad-free for everyone — free or Premium. We make money from Premium subscriptions and printed cookbooks, not from selling your attention.
Unlimited cookbook collections, pantry tracking, smart grocery lists organized by aisle, one-tap ingredient scaling, all six pocket chef characters, advanced meal planning, and priority support.
$47.99/year (works out to about $4/month) or $7.99/month if you go monthly. Annual saves you about $48/year vs paying monthly.
You get full Premium access for 7 days. Cancel any time before day 7 and you won't be charged. If you forget, you can still cancel later — no hidden fees, no contracts.
On your iPhone: Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions → Aldenté → Cancel. That's it. We don't make you call anyone or fill out a form.
No. Everything you've saved stays yours. If your Premium lapses, you keep all your recipes — you just go back to 3 cookbooks and lose access to Premium-only features like pantry tracking.
Premium works with Apple's Family Sharing — one subscription can cover everyone in your family group on iOS.
No, the printed cookbook is a separate product anyone can order from inside the app. Premium subscribers get unlimited cookbook collections inside the app, but the physical printed book is its own thing — priced per book, by size and finish.
Not yet. iOS only for now. Android is on the roadmap — join the waitlist on the contact page to get notified.

Most cooks don't need Premium. Try the free version, see how you use it, and upgrade only if it's worth it to you.
