The Meal Planning App
for Every Kitchen

K — Founder, Plenishly, Inc.


Plentiful

Because your table deserves to be full. Not just on good weeks. Every week. On every budget.

Replenish

Because the goal is never depletion. Not your pantry. Not your wallet. Not your energy.

Family

Not just parents and children — but roommates, students, couples, and everyone in between. If you eat, you are family here.

If you eat, you’re family here.

What the Research Says

  • The EPA puts uneaten food at about $728 per person a year. For a family of four, that's about $2,913, or roughly 11% of what the family spends on food.
  • USDA's own figure is lower: about $1,500 a year for a family of four. Both are estimates. Your home will differ.
  • The average US household also spends about $3,900 a year on food away from home.

If a family of four wasted a quarter less, that's about $375 (USDA figure) to $730 (EPA figure) back each year. This is an example, not a promise.

What We Will Never Do

Some things matter more than growth metrics. Here is what Plenishly commits to — permanently, not just today.

Pleny, your kitchen helper

— The Plenishly Team

  • Sell Your Information

    Your grocery habits, EBT status, weight goals, receipts, and family food restrictions belong to you. Completely and permanently.

  • Shame You for What You Eat

    There is no bad food in Plenishly. Only choices — and help making the ones that work for your life.

  • Pretend One Version Fits Everyone

    A college student in a dorm and a family of five don’t need the same features. They need one app that knows the difference.

  • Lie About Coupons

    Most major stores don’t accept phone photos of paper coupons at the register. We tell you that. We help you use them the right way.

  • Claim EBT Direct Connection

    No app legally connects directly to EBT accounts. We tell you what’s actually possible and build the best version of that.

  • Give You a Diet

    We give you a plan. Those are different things.

You handle the living. We handle the food part.

Frequently asked questions

Everything You Need to Know

These answers exist in our app and across the web. We put them here so you never have to wonder.

  • Plenishly is a free meal planning app for families, college students and roommates. Plan meals, compare grocery prices, track your budget, manage your pantry and follow nutrition, all in one place. Use it on the web or your phone. Start free, with no credit card.

  • Yes. The free plan needs no credit card and includes a weekly meal plan, basic budget tracking and three receipt scans a month. Plenishly is $9.99 a month and Plenishly+ is $19.99 a month, both with a 7-day free trial. Keep is a one-time $29.99 purchase.

  • Yes. SNAP mode tracks your SNAP spending from the receipts you scan (it does not connect to your EBT card), sets daily spending targets from your reload date, flags SNAP-eligible items on your list, and shows nearby farmers markets with Double Up Food Bucks. Plenishly never issues or changes benefits. Those come from your state.

  • No — and any app claiming it can is misleading you. The federal government does not provide API access to EBT accounts for third-party apps. Plenishly tracks your SNAP balance through receipt scanning and manual entry, with state-specific balance check instructions for all 50 states.

  • Partly. Plenishly totals your list with real prices from Kroger-family stores near you. For Walmart, Target, Instacart and other stores, it sends your list to them so you can compare there. We are adding more stores over time.

  • Yes. Plenishly has a dedicated Individual Mode for college students that includes dorm room cooking mode (microwave and mini fridge only), macro and calorie tracking from meal photos, meal prep planning for batch cooking, and budget planning for as low as $40 per week.

  • Yes. Many creator plans pair you with an accountability partner or a small group, and you can invite someone you know who bought the same plan. They only see whether you checked in, plus one message a week.

  • Yes. Plenishly's Household Mode lets 2 to 6 people share a meal plan, split grocery receipt costs automatically, track who owes what, and manage a shared pantry.

  • Yes, in Individual Mode. Plenishly estimates calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fat from a photo of your meal using photo analysis. No manual ingredient entry is required. Daily totals track against your personal goal.

  • Yes. Point your phone camera at any grocery receipt. Plenishly reads every item, categorizes spending, updates your budget, populates your pantry, and keeps your budget on track. Free accounts get 3 scans per month. Premium accounts get unlimited.

  • Yes. Plenishly+ members keep spending records for 3 years and receipt photos for a year or for good, flag receipts as business expenses or FSA/HSA medical purchases, and generate a year-end PDF spending report for tax preparation. Plenishly does not provide tax advice.

  • Yes. Plenishly saves physical, digital, printable and cashback coupons and alerts you when one matches your shopping list. Most grocery stores still need the paper coupon at the register, so Plenishly reminds you to bring it.

  • Pleny is Plenishly's kitchen companion. Pleny uses the pantry, budget, preferences, and meal plan you choose to share to give specific, practical help without judgment or diet culture.
