Use tool ↗About ChefGPT
ChefGPT builds recipes from ingredients a user already has, generates weekly meal plans with shopping lists, and logs nutrition from a photo of a finished plate. Features are split into named modes — PantryChef for leftovers, MasterChef for specific dishes, MacrosChef for macro targets and MealPlanChef for weekly planning. Beyond the consumer iOS and Android apps, the same recipe, macro and meal-plan endpoints are resold as a developer API with embeddable widgets.

Pros & cons of ChefGPT
A tidy consumer cooking app that has drifted into calorie-tracker territory; worth it if you want recipes and macro logging in one place, pointless if you already run MyFitnessPal or just ask a chatbot what to cook.
Pros
- Photo-based nutrition logging removes most of the manual entry other trackers demand
- Genuine developer API with published tiers and rate limits, unusual for a consumer recipe app
- Ships on both iOS and Android plus web, not app-store only
- Named modes make the feature set easier to navigate than a single prompt box
Cons
- The consumer pricing page 404s — you have to sign up to see what a subscription costs
- Photo calorie estimates are inference, not measurement, so portion accuracy is guesswork
- No published company country; the operator is only identifiable through app store listings
- API entry tier at $19.99/month for 1,000 requests is steep for prototyping
Best for
- Cooking from whatever is left in the fridge instead of shopping to a recipe
- People tracking macros who want the meal plan and the log in the same app
- Developers embedding recipe generation into a food or grocery product via the API
Not for
- Anyone needing verified nutrition data for clinical or medical purposes
- Users already committed to a dedicated calorie tracker with a barcode database
Watch out: The website's /pricing route is dead and billing lives behind the account settings screen, so you cannot compare plans before creating an account.
