Yummly vs Well Stockd: offline since December 2024

Yummly’s app and website went offline in December 2024, and saved collections went with them. Well Stockd comes with its own recipes and shows which ones you can make from what’s in your kitchen.

Side by side

Side-by-side as of September 2026. Competitor details change, so check their current listings before deciding.
What matters	Yummly	Well Stockd
Status	Shut down. yummly.com now returns a permanent redirect to KitchenAid’s recipe pages.	Inventory, recipes, shopping and cooking are available in one account.
Getting your data out	No bulk export was ever offered, so saved recipes and collections were not recoverable in one piece.	Export everything you own at any time, on Free: your recipes with their photos, your kitchen, lists and plan, as one ZIP file of CSV and JSON. You can also delete your account in Settings.
Recipe catalog	Went offline with the service.	More than 5,700 recipes, matched live against what you actually have in.
Pantry and fridge inventory	Not applicable now.	Full fridge, freezer and pantry inventory with expiry dates, freshness-aware sorting and reminders before food is due. Free keeps up to 30 foods; Pro has no limit.

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 check the matches and send it to a Walmart or Kroger cart.
Pro household sync. One shared kitchen for members, rather than separate inventories.

The honest trade-off

What you may miss: Yummly’s index was enormous and its recommendations were tuned over years. Well Stockd’s catalog is more than 5,700 recipes, picked to be cookable on a weeknight rather than to be endless. What you gain is an app that knows what is in your kitchen.

When you should stay with Yummly

Stay with Yummly if:

You already rebuilt somewhere else and only wanted the old collection back. Nothing here recovers a Yummly collection.
You want a recipe feed to browse and nothing else: no inventory, no dates, no shopping loop.

How to move off Yummly

There is nothing to export. Yummly never offered a bulk export and the service is gone, so start from the dishes you actually cook rather than from a file.
Search those dishes in the catalog. More than 5,700 recipes are already here, so most weeknight regulars come back without typing.
Save anything missing as your own recipe. Personal recipes are unlimited on Free.
Stock the fridge, freezer and pantry. Type it, scan barcodes, read a receipt, or say what’s on the shelves, and review each batch before it’s saved.
Create a free account and confirm your email. Seven days of full Pro start right then, with no card.

Founding offer ended

The switch offer has closed. Free includes inventory, recipe matching, shopping lists and step-by-step cook mode; current Pro pricing is on the pricing page.

Common questions

What happened to Yummly?

The app and website were taken offline in December 2024. yummly.com now redirects to KitchenAid’s recipe pages, and there has been no revival since.

Can I get my Yummly recipes back?

No. Yummly never offered a bulk export, so there is no file to recover and nothing here can restore a collection. The honest path is rebuilding from the dishes you actually cook.

Is there a free Yummly alternative?

Well Stockd’s cooking loop is free: the catalog, inventory with expiry dates, can-make matching, the shopping list, the Walmart cart and cook mode. Pro at $7.99 a month or $79 a year adds the planner, household sync and the hands-free cook assistant.
