Pricing and total cost of ownership
Member Kitchens is typically more expensive than lightweight tools — by design. Our plans scale with active members, and we only succeed when your membership revenue grows. Compare total value for your stage, not sticker price alone.
Eat This Much
Eat This Much sells consumer subscriptions (see eatthismuch.com/pricing) — inexpensive for personal use, not a business platform for your members.
Member Kitchens
Discover from $49/mo, Launch $99/mo, Growth $199/mo (plus tiered per-active-user fees above included limits). Start on Discover while validating; move to Launch or Growth as members need cooking mode, PWA install, courses, and integrations. See memberkitchens.com/pricing.
If you expect members to cook from structured recipes and meal plans, choosing a platform that can grow with you avoids a painful migration later — even if a simpler tool is cheaper today.

Consumer app vs creator-owned membership
- Not your brand — members subscribe to Eat This Much, not your membership.
- You cannot publish your recipe library, courses, or community as the product owner.
- No white-label domain, page builder, or creator monetization stack.
- Professional client memberships and tiered access are outside the consumer app model.
Where Member Kitchens fits professional and creator businesses
Member Kitchens puts your recipes and meal plans in your branded app with your subscribers.
- Your content, your tiers, your Stripe revenue — not a consumer app recommendation.
- Interactive meal plans built from your recipes with community and programs.
- White-label PWA on your domain with hands-on platform support.
Support and partnership model
We compete on platform depth and partnership, not on being the lowest monthly fee. Member Kitchens includes hands-on support from a team that works with food memberships every day. Because our revenue scales with your active members, we win when your kitchen business grows — not when you pay for shelfware.
When to choose which
Choose Eat This Much if:
- You want a personal meal planner for individual use, not a business membership.
- You are fine sending people to a third-party consumer app without your branding.
Choose Member Kitchens if:
- You sell subscriptions to your recipes and meal plans under your brand.
- Members need your content library — not algorithmically generic meals.
