SuperCook vs Well Stockd: a recipe search or a kitchen that remembers
SuperCook finds recipes for a list. Well Stockd remembers the kitchen. SuperCook is a free ingredient-to-recipe search engine with a massive index. What it is not is an inventory: your ingredient list is a session filter, with no quantities, no dates, and nothing shared with the household.
Switchers get 3 free months of Pro. Claims close October 31, 2026, 8 PM Eastern.

Side by side

|---|---|---|
| Pantry and fridge inventory | Ingredient list only: no quantities, no expiry dates, not a stored inventory | Full fridge, freezer and pantry inventory with expiry dates, freshness-aware sorting and reminders before food is due. |

| Household sync | Built for one person at a time | Household sync: one kitchen, every device in the house. Pro. |
| Shopping | None | A shopping list usable at any store, in your aisle order, with price estimates and offline use, plus a reviewed Walmart cart handoff where supported. |

What you gain
- An inventory. Your fridge, freezer and pantry, with quantities, in one place.
- Best-by dates. The app shows estimates and sorts items needing attention near the top. Free on every account.
- Can-make matching. Every recipe says whether you can cook it tonight with what you already have.
- A shopping list that reflects what you already own. Use it at any store, or review matched items before a Walmart cart handoff.
- Pro household sync. One shared kitchen for members, rather than separate inventories.
The honest trade-off
What you may miss: SuperCook’s raw recipe index is bigger than anyone’s, and it costs nothing. If a one-off "what can I make with X and Y" search is all you need, keep it bookmarked. Well Stockd earns its place when you want the list to persist, carry dates, and drive the week.
When you should stay with SuperCook
Stay with SuperCook if:
- You want a free, no-account, one-off search and nothing more.
- Raw index size matters more to you than dates, quantities or anyone else in the house seeing the same kitchen.
How to move off SuperCook
Before you leave SuperCook
- SuperCook costs nothing, so this is not an either/or. Plenty of people keep it bookmarked for a one-off search and use Well Stockd for the kitchen itself.
- The thing you gain is persistence: the same list, with quantities and dates, that does not vanish when the tab closes.
- If two people cook in your house, household sync is the single biggest difference: SuperCook is built for one person at a time.

The offer
3 free months
SuperCook switchers get 3 free months of Well Stockd Pro: the planner, household sync, the hands-free cook assistant, custom substitutions and unlimited custom recipe lists. Personal recipes are unlimited on Free too. It is one claim per account, in Settings. Claims close October 31, 2026, 8 PM Eastern. Claiming replaces your 7-day trial with the longer free period; it does not add to it. After that, Pro is $7.99 a month or $79 a year. Free still includes inventory, recipe matching, shopping lists and step-by-step cook mode.
Common questions
Is SuperCook free?
Yes, entirely, and this page does not suggest otherwise. Its ingredient-to-recipe search is free and its index is the largest in the category.
What does SuperCook not do?
It does not store an inventory. Your ingredient list is a session filter with no quantities, no expiry dates, no household sharing and no meal planning attached to it.
Why pay for Well Stockd when SuperCook is free?
You do not have to. The cooking loop is free here too. Pro adds the planner, unlimited recipe lists and hands-free voice cook mode. Personal recipes are unlimited on Free. The reason to switch is persistence and freshness, not index size.
