We publish our pricing because you deserve to know what something costs before you sign up. No "contact sales for a quote." No surprise fees. No contracts.

\*\*How it works:\*\*

Start with a plan that fits your needs - from free to full-featured. Every plan includes core recipe costing (and about 100 other features). Need planning and shopping lists? Upgrade. Need inventory? There's a plan for that. Need nutrition labels or extra users? Add them on.

## Reviews

### "A Necessary Tool for Any Small Business Owner\!" — 5.0/5

> **Kishoree** | *2 August 2025* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Add the ingredient once and just type a few letters into a recipe and predictive text does the rest. Ability to update and track increasing costs over time, keeping track of vendors (this was a huge help when it came time for my staff to reorder and I was out of town), customer support is EXCELLENT. I recommend this software to anyone who expresses a need for a method to track costs and inventory.
> 
> **Cons**: For my purposes, it was sometimes tough to figure out how to input the correct data to get the correct per unit pricing (I work with chocolate molds or varying yields). This made things a bit complicated at first, but is most likely an issue singular to my industry.
> 
> I can't say enough good things about it. I upgraded almost instantly and never looked back. I have advised many people in my industry to use it and those who have signed up have all agreed that it was a smart move for any small business.

### "Recipe Cost Calculator for Helpful Services" — 5.0/5

> **Collins** | *3 December 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Recipe Cost Calculator ensure all costs are handled swiftly.
> 
> **Cons**: Recipe Cost Calculator makes every process attainable.
> 
> Recipe Cost Calculator has maximum assistance in managing costs.

### "Recipe Cost Calculator Review" — 5.0/5

> **Amber** | *5 June 2024* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Recipe Cost Calculator helped me get organised and feel more confident and professional during the stressful time of opening a cafe. It is very easy to use and troubleshoot. \[sensitive content hidden\] is always evolving and improving the functionality plus he is personally there to help out if you need it. I highly recommend this calculator, it is a very valuable business tool.
> 
> **Cons**: I did not have any negative experience using Recipe Cost Calculator. Typing in all your ingredients individually takes time but that is to be expected because the details are so thorough and once it’s done it is set up for good. Changing from there is easy and having all the detailed info about each ingredient saves you time down the track when menu planning.
> 
> Recipe Cost Calculator is the perfect tool for anyone in the hospitality industry. It is a superior piece of software that does its job above and beyond.

### "Determined Inventory Managing Program" — 5.0/5

> **Christina** | *22 April 2024* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The software has all the measures that foster costing, and ensure there is defined order management.
> 
> **Cons**: The attributes of this program are flawless and useful.

-----

### "Great Product" — 5.0/5

> **Richard** | *9 April 2024* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We found Recipe Cost Calculator extremely easy to set up and use. The ability to scale recipes based on different factors (the yield that we wanted to obtain most frequently, and sometimes having to scale based on ingredients that we were able to actually use\!) quickly and easily was a life saver.
> 
> **Cons**: There were a few ingredients that we used in our recipes that were not "findable" in the nutrition database - this did slow us down somewhat but not to any great extent.
> 
> Any time that we had any issue with the program, we were able to receive immediate help and solutions to the problems.
I sold the business and one of the biggest selling points for the buyer was that I was able to provide allergens and nutritional data for all of my recipes.
