The Free recipe limit

Updated 2026-09-02

On the Free plan, a household can hold 10 active recipes at a time. Try to save an 11th and you'll see "Free recipe limit reached."

What counts

• All recipes count the same — imported, YouTube, or written by hand.
• The count is shared across the whole household, not per person.
• Recipes in the Trash don't count. Deleting a recipe frees a slot immediately.

Getting past it

• Delete a recipe you no longer need (it goes to Trash for 30 days — see Deleting a recipe and the 30-day Trash).
• Upgrade to ReciLore Full — this removes the recipe-count cap. Only the household owner can upgrade; members see a prompt to ask the owner. See Free vs ReciLore Full.

Restoring from Trash near the limit

Restoring a recipe re-checks the limit. If your household is already at 10, restoring an 11th fails until you free a slot — see Restoring a recipe from Trash.
