Recipe Kit was born a few years ago, the brainchild of a solopreneur. Unlike other jack-of-all-trades solutions, this app narrows its focus to serve a particular need—creating blog recipes on Shopify.

The financial commitment ranges from $10.99 to $15 per month.
Recipe Kit is the brainchild of a solopreneur and it shows—it's laser-focused on making blog recipes. We observed that it comes with specific options like category, cook time, and number of servings. This is an app that adds tailored recipe cards to your Shopify blog posts. We found it has a somewhat limited but potent set of features, compatible with any Shopify theme.
If you're a small business in the food sector looking to dip your toes in content marketing, Recipe Kit is a solid pick. It's user-friendly, sets up seamlessly, and even throws in some visually appealing recipe card designs at no extra cost.
App dedicated to recipes
Easy to install, good for beginners
Clear and easy templates to work with
No SEO scoring tool or advice
Limited to recipes only
Not a drag and drop editor
IFLWATCHES increased blog traffic by 650%
➡️ See how they did itBentoSMB Recipes carves out its niche by focusing on creating recipe cards for Shopify. Notably, the app offers a generous free plan for your first 5 recipes, along with extensive customer support for any assistance you may need.
Solo Founders
Developers (who don't have SEO goals)
Free for the first 5 recipes; up to $15 per month thereafter.
BentoSMB Recipes is specialized for crafting recipe cards on Shopify, and the first five recipes are on the house. We experienced their extensive customer support, which you might need.
We found the setup to be less than beginner-friendly since it requires a lot of manual work. You'll have to manually paste code into each article where you want to add a recipe. It's a bit cumbersome and not super intuitive. Plus, we have some reservations about SEO—since the content is generated via Javascript, its search engine performance is questionable.
Once you get the hang of it, though, the interface is straightforward and the recipes look good visually.
All inputs you need to create a complete recipe
Free plan that is better than other apps
The installation process is not automatic, not easy to understand
No preview for recipes
Need to manually add code to each article you want to customize
Content is generated in JavaScript, not recommended by Google
No SEO scoring tool or advice
Limited to recipes only, not a full blog solution
The app is just AMAZING! Everything I ever wanted for our blog and SEO is here... and their support team is just ANOTHER LEVEL!
Love working on Bloggle! Excellent tool to make your blog very clean, eye-appealing, and 100% SEO oriented. Very intuitive to use.
Recipe Stack distinguishes itself from the pack with an array of unique features. From launching a dedicated recipe page to transforming your recipes into a mobile app, this Shopify app opens up new avenues for your blogging needs.

Ranges from $14 to $99 per month.
Recipe Stack makes a strong first impression with its variety of features, setting it apart from other recipe apps. Notably, it allows you to launch a recipe page where all your creations are displayed. We found it also has the ability to copy and paste widgets to showcase related recipes across different areas of your store—be it the product page, homepage, or even collections. Plus, we could convert our recipes into a mobile app.
However, it's not all rosy. While these features are good to have, the app falls short on some essentials. For instance, we found the number of fields for customizing your recipes is limited, making the app's capabilities closely resemble Shopify's native blog functionality rather than a dedicated recipe app.
If your aim is to launch a mobile app for your recipes, Recipe Stack could be a suitable choice, even though there are other dedicated mobile apps out there.
Easy installation process
Ability to launch a recipe mobile app
Widgets to display recipes across your store
No SEO scoring tool or advice
Limited to recipes only
Less recipe-related fields compared to competitors
Content is pushed to pages, not blogs
Latest reviews mention numerous bugs

➡️ See how they did itShogun stands as an anomaly in a list dominated by recipe-specific apps. Being the go-to app for a long time, and originally designed to craft customized blog landings for Shopify, it brings a plethora of features to the table—many of which are more suited for general content marketing than recipe blogging.
Large Companies
Starts at $19 per month, going up to $499 per month (1 free blog post).
Shogun has been around for a while and was once the go-to for customized Shopify blog landing pages, even though it's not a dedicated recipe app. The problem here lies in its original intent; it's designed for landing pages, like those for products, rather than specialized recipe blogs. As a result, we realized it excels in features that are great for marketing landing pages but falls short when it comes to crucial SEO features.
We found that the pricing is on the higher end, making it a viable option only if you're operating a Shopify Advanced or Shopify Plus store and prefer not to depend on a developer for page alterations.
Great customer support
A tool to create more than just blog pages

App created and thought for Shopify needs
Rich library of design sections to add
Hard to use, too many elements
High price
No automatic SEO scoring tool or advice
Not focused on blogs
Not created specifically for recipes
Amazing customer service! The app has all features needed to run a great blog. Images, videos, SEO, text blocks, etc.
Recipe Junction is the latest entrant in the Shopify app store. Our initial encounter was marred by dashboard bugs, but once resolved, the app delivered visually striking and well-organized recipes.
Solo Founders
Small and Medium-sized Businesses (that don't have SEO goals)
The pricing spectrum ranges from $1.99 to $11.99 per month.
Recipe Junction is the newcomer on the block in the Shopify app store. Right off the bat, we hit a snag—bugs prevented us from even opening the dashboard. After a few hours of troubleshooting, the app finally cooperated. Once inside, we were genuinely impressed; the live recipes looked fantastic and the content was well-organized. It's easily the most aesthetically pleasing of all the apps we've tested.
However, it's not all smooth sailing. The app compiles all your recipes on one page, which is a no-go for SEO. Also, the content is drenched in Javascript, making us doubt its SEO friendliness.
Visually appealing and well-structured recipes
Comprehensive options for crafting recipes
Dashboard bugs hindered initial access
Content is JavaScript-loaded, affecting SEO
No feature to integrate product pages into blogs
NUOO: From 5k to 32k/month blog traffic using Bloggle
➡️ See how they did itRecipe Management by MyAppGurus is the newest addition to the Shopify app store. It stands out by functioning primarily as a catalog for organizing delicious recipes, planning meals, and even creating shopping lists. However, its disconnect with the Shopify ecosystem is evident—recipes created can't be published on your live store but are only viewable within the app itself.
Individuals who solely want to create and store recipes
Free to use
MyAppGurus Recipe Management App is new on the Shopify app store and is designed to organize your recipes, plan your meals, and create shopping lists. We tried creating a recipe, however, we found that it is not straightforward. It required our personal information such as phone numbers, emails, and addresses, and even necessitates a Pinterest account—something not everyone has.
After publishing a recipe, we couldn’t view it on our live store; it's only accessible within the app. This makes the app like a catalog for managing recipes in your personal life, and we could not find the link between the app and the Shopify store.
Free to use
No capability to publish a recipe on your live blog or store
Requires personal details like phone number, email, and address for recipe submission
