AI meal planning that respects your wallet
Eat well.
Spend less.
Tell us your budget, your grocery store, and your health goal. We generate a full week of meals, one shopping list, and the exact cost — before you spend a dollar.
Set your budget
Weekly grocery budget, household size, store, diet, and allergies. Two minutes, once.
Get your week
Seven days of breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks — with macros, costs, and cooking steps.
Shop one list
Every ingredient combined into a single list, grouped by aisle, totaled against your budget.
Most meal planners ignore the price tag
They hand you recipes and let you discover the cost at the till. PlateWise works the other way round: your budget is a hard limit the plan is built inside, not a number you find out you exceeded.
What's under the hood
Every feature exists because a grocery budget is a real constraint with real trade-offs.
Zero-waste weeks
Turn it on and the whole week is built from a tight set of staples that reappear across meals. A reuse meter shows how hard each ingredient is working — because the cheapest groceries are the ones you don't throw away.
Honest brand grades
Tap any ingredient to see real branded products scored A to D from their ingredient lists — 58 flagged additives across 21 categories. The formula is published, the working is shown, and no brand can pay to change a score.
Households, not headcounts
Add up to five people. A six-year-old and a teenage athlete are counted differently, allergies combine across everyone, and the strictest diet in the house wins.
It knows what you already own
Mark the salt, oil and flour already in your cupboard and they drop off the shopping list instead of inflating your total with things you don't need to buy.
Benchmarked against real data
Your weekly spend is compared to the USDA's official food plan for a household your size, so “cheap” is measured against a published figure rather than a feeling.
Built around your week
Cap how long you'll cook on a weeknight, turn on cook-once-eat-twice leftovers, set your own calorie and protein targets, or let the app calculate them.
What we won't pretend
Prices are estimates
We show what a week should roughly cost, not a quoted checkout total. Prices move by store, region and week — anyone claiming exact figures is guessing too, just more confidently.
Grades come from ingredient lists
Not lab analysis. An ingredient list tells you what's in a product, not how much. We publish the whole method so you can judge it yourself.
No brand pays us. Ever.
No advertising, no sponsored products, no paid placement. A grading system funded by the brands it grades isn't a grading system.
