# Scrumptious vs Create by Mediavine

Create is a free recipe card plugin from the Mediavine ad network, with a paid Create Pro plan. Here is an honest look at how Scrumptious compares, what you get for free, and how easy it is to switch.

[See the comparison](https://scrumptiouswp.com/scrumptious-vs-create-by-mediavine/#compare) [How switching works](https://scrumptiouswp.com/help/importing/)

## The short version

### More for free

Servings scaling and US/metric conversion are free in Scrumptious, and cook mode stays on your site. In Create, those need Create Pro at $150 a year.

### 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 Create 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. Create prices are from Mediavine’s own pages as of September 2026.

## Where Create is ahead

We would rather you pick the right tool. Create is a capable free plugin, and it does some things we do not do yet:

- Free automatic nutrition calculation.
- How-to cards and list (roundup) cards as well as recipes.
- Imports from more plugins (10+).
- Ad-slot settings built for Mediavine publishers.

## Where Scrumptious fits better

If you want the reader features without paying for them, and you would rather paste a recipe than fill in a form:

- Servings scaling and unit conversion are free, and cook mode stays on your site.
- 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. Create does not list these.
- Made by a former chef who builds WordPress sites for a living.

## Try it on a copy of your site

Install the free plugin on a staging copy, run the importer, and compare your recipes side by side. If you change your mind, undo the import with one click.
