Both options here pull from the same 88-recipe library, so the question isn't which one has better recipes. It's whether you want to start tonight with a set you can browse yourself, or hand off your specific situation and have someone build it around you.
Solo Starter Bundle: $19.25
- 88 interactive recipes across 6 cuisines, tagged by how much energy you have that night
- Every recipe lists cost, calories, protein, swaps and tools
- Includes the Solo Meal Planner & Grocery Kit, and 4 Week Dinner Plans with a shopping list already built
- Ready to download and use the moment you check out
- Regular price is $35; it's currently priced at the launch rate
Best for: cooking for one, beginners, anyone who wants to pick their own dinners from a set that's already organized for them.
Custom Plan: $69
- Everything in the Starter Bundle, plus a plan built from scratch around your answers
- You fill in a short form after checkout: budget, schedule, allergies, cuisines you actually like, any special request
- A real person builds it from there, ready in 2–3 days, priced to your local grocery costs
- Can include a personal message page, or a name written right into it, if it's a gift
Best for: someone with specific constraints (allergies, a tight or unusual budget, a picky palate), or a gift for a specific person rather than a general one.
The honest tradeoff
The Bundle is instant and cheaper, but it's still yours to browse and pick from. The Custom Plan costs more and takes a couple of days, because a person is actually building it around the details you give them, not generating it instantly. Neither is the "better" product, they solve different problems: pick-your-own vs. built-for-you.
A quick way to decide
If you can picture yourself scrolling a list and picking what sounds good tonight, the Bundle does that job well. If the idea of choosing from 88 recipes feels like one more decision you don't want to make, or you're buying this for someone else specifically, the Custom Plan removes that step entirely.

Compare the two plans →Quick questions
What's the difference between the Solo Starter Bundle and the Custom Plan?
Both pull from the same 88-recipe library; the Starter Bundle ($19.25) is an instant set you browse and pick from yourself, while the Custom Plan ($69) is hand-built by a real person around your specific budget, schedule, allergies and cuisines, ready in 2-3 days.
Is the Custom Plan worth the extra cost over the Starter Bundle?
If choosing from 88 recipes feels like one more decision you don't want to make, or it's a gift for someone specific, yes; if you're happy scrolling a list and picking what sounds good tonight, the Bundle already does that job.
What comes with the Solo Starter Bundle?
88 interactive recipes across 6 cuisines tagged by effort level, plus the Solo Meal Planner & Grocery Kit and 4 Week Dinner Plans with a shopping list already built, ready to use the moment you check out.
How long does the Custom Plan take to arrive?
About 2 to 3 days, since a real person builds it from scratch around the form you fill in after checkout, rather than generating it instantly.
