Scrumptious vs Tasty Recipes
Tasty Recipes by WP Tasty is a polished, paid recipe plugin that plenty of food bloggers love. Here is an honest look at how Scrumptious compares, what you get for free, and how easy it is to switch.
The short version
Start for free
Recipe cards, Google schema, servings scaling, star ratings, cook mode and US/metric conversion are free in Scrumptious. Tasty Recipes starts at $49 a year and renews at $99.
Paste instead of typing
Paste a recipe and Scrumptious fills in the fields for you. With Pro, paste a link to a recipe page instead. AI is optional and uses your own key.
Switch in one click
Import your Tasty Recipes and swap the cards in your posts. Your URLs stay the same, and you can undo it.
Feature by feature
Prices are per year for one site. Tasty Recipes prices are from the WP Tasty pricing page as of September 2026. They show introductory prices, and renewals are at full price.
Where Tasty Recipes is ahead
We would rather you pick the right tool. Tasty Recipes is a mature plugin, and it does some things we do not do yet:
- 11 recipe card designs to choose from.
- Nutrition labels on every plan.
- AI scraper prevention built in.
- A bundle with Tasty Pins, Links and Roundups on its All Access plan.
Where Scrumptious fits better
If you would rather not pay just to get a recipe card, and you would rather paste a recipe than fill in a form:
- The core plugin is free: cards, schema, servings, ratings, cook mode and unit conversion.
- Paste & Parse fills in the card from pasted text (Pro adds import from a link).
- AI is optional and uses your own key, with no markup.
- Meal planner and shopping lists from $59/yr, and reader submissions from $99/yr. We could not find these on the Tasty Recipes plans page.
- Made by a former chef who builds WordPress sites for a living.
