Rikaido or Recipe Genius

Rikaido or Recipe Genius?

Recipe Genius does a lot: twelve features, iOS and Android, a community. Rikaido does one thing: make you a cook, one checked recipe at a time.

Recipe Genius is “Cook Smarter”: describe a dish, it writes the recipe in seconds, then runs the rest of the kitchen: photo and link import, pantry, weekly plan, timers, dietary profiles, cooking mode, a community sharing recipes. Five free generations a month, Pro for unlimited.

Where Recipe Genius wins

On iPhone and on Android today. Rikaido: iPhone and web.
The pantry, the weekly plan, the timers, photo and link import.
A community sharing recipes, indexed by Google.
Written in English, for a wider market.

Where Rikaido wins

The recipe is checked before it is served: allergies, quantities, temperatures, salt. Recipe Genius has dietary profiles, but announces no check before serving.
The technique is taught in the recipe: 72 techniques with their tell and their fault, 24 ladders, 17 lessons. Recipe Genius announces no technique.
The free plan is wider: 2 checked recipes a week, against five generations a month, and everything that teaches is open.
Pro’s price is written here: $7.99 a month. Recipe Genius doesn’t show its own.
A founder who signs and seven App Store reviews at 5.0, rather than its suppliers’ logos.
