Fooma is a good fit if you want to keep and cook the recipes you find, with AI help when you need it. Ollie may suit you better if you want an assistant that also orders groceries and you don't need a recipe collection.
Fooma doesn't import Ollie export files. The quickest way is to share each recipe's original link (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube or a website) to Fooma, which rebuilds the full recipe. Recipes you wrote yourself can be typed in as new recipes.
Fooma is free to download, with free recipe import tries. The meal planner, grocery list and household sharing are free. Fooma Pro adds unlimited imports and AI Chef; prices are shown in the app before you subscribe.
