Cookpad Premium India: Benefits, Price and How to Subscribe

Choosing what to cook should feel exciting, not overwhelming. Cookpad brings together recipes shared by home cooks, practical cooking experiences and tools that help you keep your favourite food ideas organised. Cookpad Premium adds extra features for people who want to find popular recipes faster and get more from their personal recipe collection.

Cookpad is free to download and use, and the app is ad-free. Premium is an optional subscription. Because Cookpad is continually improving, the exact Premium features and price shown to you can vary by device, app version and subscription offer. The information displayed inside the official Cookpad app before you confirm payment is always the most accurate for your account.

Now with Cookpad's latest, COOKPAD PREMIUM, our home cooks can choose recipes that are proven to be delicious and successful for family meals.

1. What is Cookpad Premium?

Cookpad Premium is the optional paid version of Cookpad. It is designed for home cooks who search for recipes frequently, want faster access to popular community recipes or need additional ways to build and organise their recipe collection.

You do not need Premium to join Cookpad. Free members can discover recipes, create and share their own recipes, follow other home cooks, send Cooksnaps and take part in the Cookpad community. Premium adds extra convenience and expanded access to selected tools.

Premium is available for Cookpad India in English. Its benefits may differ between Android and iOS, so check the subscription screen on your device before purchasing.

2. Cookpad Premium benefits in India

Cookpad Premium currently includes the following features:

Premium Search, sorted by popularity

Premium Search places the most popular recipes at the top of your search results, so you can start with the dishes that have attracted the strongest interest from the Cookpad community.

Import your recipes from anywhere, without limits

Bring in every recipe you love from other apps or websites — import them and find them again without limits among your favourites. This is one of the most useful Premium tools if you're used to saving recipe ideas from Instagram, TikTok or your favourite food blogs.

Premium filter for recipes with Cooksnaps

A dedicated filter lets you narrow your search to recipes that already have Cooksnaps — real photos and comments from other home cooks who've made the dish — so you know what you're making has actually worked for someone else.

A curated selection of the most Cooksnapped recipes

Cookpad also highlights a curated selection of standout recipes with the highest number of Cooksnaps, making it easy to see which dishes the community trusts most.

Private notes on every recipe

Add personal notes to any recipe — an ingredient substitution, a cooking tip, a reminder for next time. These notes are private and visible only to you.

A Premium weekly menu, delivered to your inbox

Every week, Premium members receive a curated weekly menu designed to inspire their everyday cooking, delivered straight to their in-app inbox.

The most viewed recipes, updated daily

See which recipes the wider Cookpad community is viewing most, with the list refreshed every day.

Organise your saved recipes into folders

Sort your saved recipes into folders however makes sense to you — by meal type, occasion, cuisine or anything else — instead of scrolling through one long list.

As new features may be released gradually, update the Cookpad app and check the Premium screen to see what is included on your device.

3. Cookpad Free vs Premium

Cookpad's free experience already gives home cooks plenty of ways to discover, cook and share. Premium is for members who want expanded limits or extra convenience.

Feature availability can vary slightly by device and app version. Review the comparison shown in the app for the exact package offered to you.

4. How much does Cookpad Premium cost in India?

Cookpad Premium is an auto-renewing in-app subscription. The current price, billing period, taxes and any introductory offer are displayed before you confirm your purchase in Google Play or the App Store.

Prices and offers can change, and different subscription options may be available. For that reason, always rely on the checkout screen rather than an older price quoted in a blog post or screenshot.

If a free or discounted trial is available for your account, its duration and renewal price will be shown before you subscribe. Read those details carefully so you know when paid billing begins.

5. How to subscribe through the official Cookpad app

Subscribing takes only a few steps:

• Download or update the official Cookpad app from Google Play or the Apple App Store.
• Open Cookpad and sign in to the account where you want to use Premium.
• Look for the Premium or Upgrade option in the app.
• Review the features, price, billing period and any trial information displayed on your device.
• Confirm the subscription through your Google Play or Apple account.

Use the same Cookpad account on your supported devices so your recipes and account activity remain connected. If you have a payment or account question, contact Cookpad through Menu → Send Feedback in the app or email help@cookpad.com.

6. Is there an official Cookpad Premium APK?

There is no separate official "Cookpad Premium APK" required to access Premium. On Android, install the official Cookpad app from Google Play and activate the subscription from inside the app. Premium access is connected to your Cookpad account and the purchase confirmed through the authorised payment process.

Avoid websites offering "Cookpad Premium mod APK", "unlocked Premium" or similar unofficial downloads. Modified applications are not distributed or supported by Cookpad, may not receive security updates and cannot provide verified Premium access. The safest option is always the official Google Play or App Store listing.

7. How to manage or cancel your Cookpad Premium subscription

Your subscription is managed by the store through which you purchased it. Deleting the Cookpad app does not automatically cancel a subscription.

On Android

• Open Google Play and make sure you are using the Google account that purchased Premium.
• Go to Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions.
• Select Cookpad.
• Choose Cancel subscription and follow the instructions.

Google Play states that after cancellation you can normally continue using the subscription for the period you have already paid for. See Google's current subscription management instructions for details.

On iPhone or iPad

• Open Settings.
• Tap your name, then Subscriptions.
• Select Cookpad.
• Tap Cancel Subscription and follow the instructions.

Apple advises cancelling before the next renewal; the precise renewal terms are shown when you subscribe. See Apple's current subscription cancellation instructions for details.

Is Cookpad Premium right for you?

Premium may be a good fit if you cook with Cookpad often, want popular recipes to appear first, regularly import recipes from other apps or sites, or want more ways to organise and get inspired by your collection. If you use Cookpad occasionally, the free experience still lets you discover recipes and participate in the home-cooking community.

The best way to decide is to open the Premium screen in the latest version of the app and compare the benefits shown for your device.
