Where Prepful is different
Samsung Food's public recipe database is its biggest asset if you want to discover new recipes, not just save your own. Prepful is built the other way around: it starts from what you already saved, on whichever platform you actually use, and turns your own feed into your recipe library instead of pointing you at someone else's.

Common questions about switching from Samsung Food
Do I need a Samsung phone to use Samsung Food?
No, it's available on iOS, Android, web, and Mac. Prepful is on the same core platforms (iOS, Android, web) without the Samsung ecosystem branding.
Can Samsung Food import from TikTok or Instagram?
Samsung Food's site and help center don't list TikTok or Instagram import. They describe saving from any website, and from apps like Pinterest or Facebook through its share extension. Prepful imports from TikTok and Instagram directly, plus YouTube, Facebook, Pinterest, any website, or a photo.
Is Samsung Food free?
There's a free tier plus a paid subscription for extras. Prepful's import, planning, and shopping list are all free to start.
