FAQ
The obvious questions.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Plate Planner works in your browser with no sign-up. If you want Pro features synced across devices, you can optionally provide an email — but it's never required to use the app.
How accurate are the prices?
Prices come from real Coles, Woolworths, ALDI and IGA listings and are updated weekly. Specials and short-term promotions may not always be reflected, but the baseline prices are kept current.
Is this only for Australians?
Yes — Plate Planner is built around Australian supermarkets and Australian prices. If you're in another country, the recipes still work but the cost calculations and shopping list won't match your local stores.
What does Pro actually include?
Pro adds pantry tracking (carry unused ingredients to next week), unlimited meal swaps, favourites-based planning, recipe submissions, and a few other extras. The core meal planner stays free forever.
Where do recipes come from?
Plate Planner has 362 hand-curated recipes, with new ones added weekly. Pro users can also submit their own recipes — once approved, they appear in the shared pool for everyone.
Is my data tracked or sold?
No tracking, no ads, no data sold. Plate Planner is built by an indie Australian developer — your meal plans and shopping data stay on your device unless you choose to sync.

Dietary restrictions
Protein preferences optional
We'll lean toward these proteins while keeping variety across the week.
Enable per-meal headcount
Override the global People setting for specific meals — e.g. when someone's away for part of the week.
Set how many people are eating each meal. Useful if someone's away for part of the week.
Set daily targets and we'll lean toward meals that hit them. Targets are estimates — we aim within ±15% across the week.
kcal/day
g/day
Doubles dinner portions to help hit higher calorie and protein targets. Increases your dinner shopping and cost accordingly.
Heads up: hitting tight budgets and ambitious macros at the same time is genuinely difficult. Protein especially is expensive — high protein targets (120g+) may consistently miss unless you've enabled protein powder. Calorie targets above ~2000/day also push past most recipes' typical serving size, so very high daily totals may be hard to hit. We'll get as close as we can.
