Effective Date: September 30, 2026
This document outlines the plans, pricing, billing, and cancellation policies for Butter+, the optional auto-renewing subscription that lets your household plan new weeks of dinners and swap any night after its free first week. By subscribing to Butter+, you agree to these terms in addition to our Terms of Service.
The prices above are US prices and apply from September 30, 2026. Prices vary by country and region, and the App Store shows the price in your local currency before you confirm a purchase. If you subscribed before September 30, 2026, you keep your price while your subscription continues.
| Feature | Free | Butter+ |
|---|---|---|
| Plan a new week of dinners | First week | Any time |
| Swap a night for alternatives | 2 swaps | Any night |
| Fill a night the planner left empty | 3 fills | Any night |
| Shopping list sorted by aisle | ✓ | ✓ |
| Cooking screen with parallel timers | ✓ | ✓ |
| Breakfasts and lunchboxes | ✓ | ✓ |
| Share the week and list with your household | ✓ | ✓ |
| Dinners already planned stay usable | ✓ | ✓ |
The free week, swaps and fills are counted per household, not per phone, and do not renew. Once they are used, planning a new week or swapping a night needs Butter+.
One Butter+ subscription covers everyone in a household. If anyone in your household has an active Butter+ subscription, the whole household has Butter+: everyone can plan new weeks and swap nights from their own phone without buying a subscription of their own.
Butter+ lets your household plan new weeks and swap nights as often as everyday cooking needs, within a fair-use limit of three new weeks and thirty swaps per household per day. If your household reaches the limit, Butter will ask you to try again the next day. The limit exists to prevent automated or abusive use and is not expected to affect normal use.
You can cancel your subscription at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period — you will continue to have access to Butter+ features until then. After that, your household has Butter+ only if someone else in it has an active subscription.
To cancel your subscription:
Alternatively, you can manage subscriptions through the App Store app or at apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions. While your subscription is active, Manage on the Butter+ card in the app's Profile tab opens the same page.
Since all purchases are processed through Apple, refund requests must be submitted directly to Apple. To request a refund:
Refund eligibility and approval are at Apple's sole discretion, in accordance with Apple's refund policies. We are unable to process refunds directly.
Butter+ currently has no free trial or introductory offer; instead, each household's first week is free without a subscription (see Section 1). We may introduce free trials or introductory prices in the future. If we do:
The prices in Section 1 apply from September 30, 2026. If you subscribed before that date, you keep your price while your subscription continues.
We reserve the right to change subscription pricing at any time. If we change pricing:
If your Butter+ subscription is cancelled or expires, and no one else in your household has an active subscription, your household returns to the free tier at the end of the current billing period. Everything already planned stays usable: the week and its recipes, the shopping list, the cooking screen, and sharing. Planning a new week or swapping a night will need Butter+ again.
