Good to know.
More about plans & billingFree includes a one-time introductory allowance. Paid plans include an allowance that refreshes each subscription month, including on annual plans. Family members share their account’s allowance. Unused allowance does not roll over.
Your core tools remain available: view, edit, organize, share, import, and export recipes; manage grocery lists; and use existing Cooking Guides. Paid Cooking Assistant access returns when the next allowance period begins.
Yes. Cancellation turns off automatic renewal. Paid access continues until the end of your current paid billing period, then the account moves to Free. Canceling your subscription does not delete your account.
Family includes up to five account members; Extended Family includes up to ten. The account owner and active invitations count toward the limit. Everyone shares one library and one Cooking Assistant allowance. This is separate from Apple Family Sharing.
The account owner manages web subscriptions in the Account section of Sparky Cooks. Apple-billed subscriptions are managed through Apple. The app shows prices and effective dates before you confirm a change.
