MealThinker FAQ
What is MealThinker?
MealThinker is an AI-powered meal planning assistant that remembers your preferences, tracks your pantry, and helps you plan personalized meals. Unlike generic recipe apps, it learns about you and provides tailored suggestions based on your dietary needs, goals, and what you have available.
How much does it cost?
MealThinker starts with a free 7-day trial. After that, choose Monthly at $15/month or Yearly at $150/year (save $30). Both plans include full access to all features.
Is there a free trial?
Yes! Every new account gets a 7-day free trial with full access to all features - no credit card required. After 7 days, you can subscribe to continue using MealThinker.
How do I cancel my subscription?
You can cancel anytime from your Preferences page by clicking 'Manage Billing'. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period - no extra charges. There are no cancellation fees, and you can resubscribe at any time if you change your mind.
What dietary preferences do you support?
We support a wide range of dietary preferences including vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, keto, paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free, and more. You can also add custom preferences and specify allergies.
How does the AI know what to suggest?
The AI uses your profile (dietary preferences, allergies, health goals, cooking skill), your pantry inventory, and your past meals to generate personalized suggestions. The more you use it, the better it gets at understanding your tastes.
Can I track my nutrition?
Yes! MealThinker calculates personalized nutrition targets based on your stats and goals, and tracks your daily intake as you log meals. You can see your calories, protein, carbs, and fat for each day.
What if I have food allergies?
You can specify your allergies in your preferences, and the AI will avoid suggesting recipes with those ingredients. However, always double-check ingredients yourself, as AI suggestions are not guaranteed to be 100% accurate.
Can I use MealThinker on my phone?
Yes! MealThinker is available as a native iOS app on the App Store and an Android app on Google Play. It also works great in any mobile browser at mealthinker.com. Your account syncs across all platforms, so you can plan meals on your computer and check recipes from your phone while cooking.
How do I contact support?
Email us at support@mealthinker.com and we typically respond within 24 hours. You can also visit our contact page at mealthinker.com/contact. We're a small team and read every message personally, so you'll always get a real response - never an automated reply.
Is my data secure? Do you sell or share it?
Your data is yours - we never sell, share, or give it to advertisers. Period. We use encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure authentication via Google or magic links, and your payment info is handled entirely by Stripe (we never see your card number). Your meal preferences and recipes are only used to personalize your experience - nothing leaves MealThinker. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from your settings.
Can I export my recipes?
Yes! You can print any saved recipe directly from the recipe page. You can also view and copy recipe details from your saved recipes page.
