Terms of Service

Effective October 29, 2026 · Last reviewed October 29, 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and MealPlanned LLC, an Indiana company. By using MealPlanned, you agree to them. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data. We've kept both short, so please read them.

1. The service

MealPlanned is a dinner planning tool for households. You keep a Rotation of familiar dinners, plan the week in Plan, turn it into a Shop list and plan together with the people in your Household. MealPlanned is offered in the United States.

We may change or retire features. If a change removes something you pay for, we'll give you reasonable notice.

2. Shop and grocery services

Shop helps you review, check off, copy, print and export your list. MealPlanned doesn't place orders or confirm purchases.

Shopping through Instacart

The optional Shop on Instacart feature sends selected ready-to-buy Shop list items to an Instacart-hosted page. Instacart is a separate service. Product matches, availability, prices, substitutions, delivery or pickup options, cart, payment and checkout are provided by Instacart and its participating retailers, subject to their terms and policies. Review products and quantities before checkout. Creating the hosted page does not place an order, and MealPlanned does not confirm purchases or update your Shop list or On Hand information based on Instacart checkout.

MealPlanned may earn a commission from qualifying purchases made through this optional link.

3. Your account

You must be 18 or older to use MealPlanned. Your Household can plan for kids, but don't invite anyone under 18. Keep your sign-in details safe and tell us if you think someone else has used your account. Don't share your account or use MealPlanned for someone else without their consent.

4. Your Household

A Household is shared. Every member can see, change and remove its dinners, Plans, Shop lists and On Hand items, and anyone you invite gets the same access.

If you leave your Household or delete your account, the dinners and Plans you added stay with the Household for the other members. If you're the last member and you delete your account, the Household and its data are deleted.

5. Premium and billing

MealPlanned is free to use. Premium adds more features for your whole Household, and one member pays for it.

New accounts get a 14-day free trial of Premium, with no card needed to start it. When the trial ends, your Household moves to Free unless a member starts Premium.

Premium costs $9.99/month or $69/year, billed through Stripe. Prices are in US dollars and don't include sales tax. If we're required to collect tax where you live, you'll see it at checkout before you pay.

Premium renews automatically until it's canceled. You can cancel at any time from your account settings, and Premium stays on until the end of the period you've paid for.

If you're not happy with Premium, email support@mealplanned.io within 14 days of your first payment or of an annual renewal, and we'll refund that payment in full. Otherwise payments aren't refundable, and we don't refund part of a billing period, but Premium stays on until the period ends. If we stop offering Premium, we'll refund the unused part of any prepaid plan. Nothing here limits a refund the law gives you.

6. Your content

You own the dinners, notes, photos and other content you add to MealPlanned.

You give MealPlanned permission to store, copy, process and display your content, and to share it with the service providers that help us run MealPlanned, only to provide MealPlanned to you and your Household. For example, we send dinner names and On Hand items to our AI provider when you use Spark, and the founder may read an import if you ask for help with it. When you use an optional external shopping handoff, you also authorize MealPlanned to send the selected Shop list details needed to provide that feature.

This permission ends when you delete the content or your account, except for content that stays with your Household and copies our providers keep for a limited time. Only add content you have the right to use.

7. AI suggestions and imports

Spark suggestions and photo imports are made by AI and can be wrong. They can list the wrong ingredients or amounts, leave out allergens or give unsafe cooking steps. Check ingredients, allergens and food safety yourself before you cook, especially for anyone with allergies or dietary needs. Imported text may not match the original recipe, so review it before you save it.

8. Acceptable use

You may not use MealPlanned to:

  • Try to access other people's accounts or Households
  • Scrape or extract data from the service by automated means
  • Get around usage limits or security checks
  • Interfere with the service or its infrastructure
  • Break any applicable law

9. Ending your account

You can stop using MealPlanned at any time. To delete your account, go to More, then Account and security. Deletion is permanent once you confirm. If you pay for your Household's Premium, end the plan first.

We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms. We'll tell you first unless the problem is serious.

10. Disclaimers and limits on liability

MealPlanned is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. As far as the law allows, we're not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages from your use of MealPlanned. Our total liability to you won't be more than the greater of what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or $100. Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law doesn't allow us to limit.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If a change is material, we'll tell you by email or with a notice in MealPlanned before it takes effect. If you keep using MealPlanned after that, you accept the updated terms. If you don't agree, you can delete your account.

12. Governing law

Indiana law governs these terms, without regard to conflict of law rules.
