The free tier shrank from generous to 40 recipes, then to a paywall. Users feel like they took the bait.

ReelsMeals vs Copy Me That
The old recipe box, or the agent-ready cookbook?
Copy Me That is a long-running browser-extension recipe clipper. ReelsMeals has one too, and handles the Reels, TikToks, and bulk imports that Copy Me That never picked up.
Where ReelsMeals pulls ahead
- TikTok support
- Instagram support
- YouTube support
- AI-powered extraction
- Paper recipe scanning
ReelsMealsCopy Me That
The take. Copy Me That is the OG website-clipping recipe manager. ReelsMeals does the social-video, photo, bulk-import, and agent-readable half of the job that Copy Me That never picked up.
This is not a pure value-for-money comparison. If you want the best traditional recipe manager, Copy Me That may win. If you want the recipe layer for AI-assisted planning and cooking, that is the different market ReelsMeals is moving into.
Side by side, with context
Feature parity is not the strategy. ReelsMeals needs enough recipe management to be useful, then wins by making saved videos legible to AI assistants.

What recurring Copy Me That feedback says
Paraphrased themes from public reviews, forums, and app-store discussions, not direct quotes from named users.
Imports are limited to traditional websites. No Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube. The format most cooks under 35 actually save from is missing.
Source: Recurring observation in recipe-app comparisons
Requires an account and a browser extension to do anything useful, friction that newer apps have removed.

Interface looks early-2010s; functional, but doesn't feel like a 2026 product compared to newer competitors.
