Meal planning might sound tedious, but it’s honestly one of the most cost-effective, stress-busting habits you can start. Plus, you can make it fun—try playlists, theme nights, or even friendly family text brainstorming!
To take the guesswork out of it, I’ve tested six leading meal-planning apps in 2025. Here’s the lowdown:
Top 6 Meal Planning Apps
Cost: 14-day free trial, then as low as $4.99/month with a 12-month plan, or $9.99/month for shorter terms
Emeals is one of the most popular meal planning apps and has been around for a long time. It has evolved over the years, and now has integration with many of the top grocery delivery and pickup services so that not only do you not have to plan your meals, but you don’t even have to go inside the grocery store!
When you are a subscriber, you get access to that week’s recipes as well as past recipes and recipes from other meal plans within the app. You choose which meals you want, and then a grocery list is generated (which can then be sent through Walmart grocery pickup or Instacart). Emeals is very friendly to different eating lifestyles, like keto, gluten-free, clean eating, kid friendly, and vegetarian.
Features:
- 15+ diet-specific plans like keto, family-friendly, budget and gluten free
- Weekly recipes and automatic shopping lists
- Integration with Instacart, Walmart, Amazon Fresh and Publix
