Yummly went offline in December 2024. Your cooking habit did not.
Yummly’s app and website were taken offline in December 2024, and yummly.com now redirects to KitchenAid. There was never a bulk export, so saved collections went with it. Here is what rebuilding in Well Stockd looks like.
What you keep
- A big library to browse. About 3,950 meal-kit-style recipes, already in the app.
- Somewhere to save what you like, including your own recipes typed or pasted in.
- A shopping list built from what you picked, sorted for the aisle.
- Step-by-step cooking on a screen that stays awake.
What it costs
| Yummly | Well Stockd | |
|---|---|---|
| Price, September 2026 | Nothing to pay. The service no longer exists. | Free forever for the cooking loop. Pro is $4.99 a month or $39 a year, which is two months free. |
| Free tier | None. The app and website were taken offline in December 2024. | Inventory with expiry tracking, the full catalog, can-make matching, the shopping list, the Walmart cart and cook mode. Two lists and five of your own recipes. |
| Trial | Not applicable. | 7 days of full Pro, no card. |
| What matters | Yummly | Well Stockd |
|---|---|---|
| Status | Shut down. yummly.com now returns a permanent redirect to KitchenAid’s recipe pages. | Live. The kitchen loop is the whole product rather than a side feature. |
| Getting your data out | No bulk export was ever offered, so saved recipes and collections were not recoverable in one piece. | Your own recipes and lists sit in your account for as long as the account exists. |
| Recipe catalog | Went offline with the service. | About 3,950 meal-kit-style 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 and freshness-aware sorting. |
| Household sharing | Not applicable now. | Household sync: one kitchen, every device in the house. Pro. |
| Shopping | Not applicable now. | One-tap Walmart cart from your shopping list, with put-away back into inventory. Any store works. |
What you gain
- An inventory. Your fridge, freezer and pantry, with quantities, in one place.
- Expiry dates. The app warns you before something goes off and sorts the oldest to 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 is a gap list. It holds what you do not already own, and one tap sends it to a Walmart cart. Any store works.
- Household sync. One shared kitchen, so nobody comes home with the second bag of rice.
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 about 3,950 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
A comparison page that cannot name a reason to pick the other product is an advert. These are the cases where Yummly is the better call:
- 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. About 3,950 recipes are already here, so most weeknight regulars come back without typing.
- Save anything missing as your own recipe. Free holds five of your own, and Pro makes them unlimited.
- Stock the fridge, freezer and pantry. Type it in or read the shelves out loud with voice stocking, about fifteen minutes for a normal kitchen.
- Create a free account. Confirm your email and 7 days of full Pro start, with no card.
- In Settings, open “Refer friends & earn Pro,” choose Yummly, and claim your one-time switch offer of 3 free months.
The offer
Yummly switchers get 3 free months of Well Stockd Pro: the planner, household sync, the hands-free cook assistant, custom substitutions and unlimited lists and recipes. It is one claim per account, in Settings, through the founding window. After that, Pro is $4.99 a month or $39 a year. The cooking loop stays free either way.
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 $4.99 a month or $39 a year adds the planner, household sync and the hands-free cook assistant.
