Your recipes, cooked every week. And paid for.
ForkCast is a recipe and meal-planning app. Your followers save your recipes straight onto their weekly plan and grocery list, and pay you monthly for the recipes you keep for members.
First 25 Chefs
Keep 100%
of membership revenue for 6 months. After that, you keep 90%.
What Founding Chefs get
A paid home for the recipes people already ask you for.
Keep 100% for 6 months
The first 25 Chefs pay no ForkCast fee on memberships for 6 months, starting when you connect payouts.
Your own Kitchen
A public page with your recipes and collections that people can follow, save from, and plan into their week.
Paid memberships
Set a monthly price from $1.99 to $9.99 and choose which recipes are members-only.
Paid through Stripe
Connect your bank once. Payouts go straight to you, and ForkCast never sees your bank details.
We set you up
Send us links to 10 of your recipes and we'll add them to your Kitchen for you.
Launch spotlight
Founding Chefs are featured in the app and on ForkCast's social channels during launch.
What it could earn
An example at $4.99 a month.
Stripe's card fee (about 2.9% + 30¢ per payment) comes out of each payment either way. Estimates before taxes.
| Members | Founding Chef, first 6 months | After that |
|---|---|---|
| 25 | about $114/mo | about $101/mo |
| 100 | about $455/mo | about $405/mo |
| 500 | about $2,273/mo | about $2,023/mo |

Good to know
- Free recipes reach everyone. Anyone, anywhere can follow you and cook your free recipes.
- Memberships are for US iPhone users for now. Checkout opens in Safari through Stripe. More regions are coming.
- Members can cancel anytime and keep access until the end of the month they paid for.
- You own your recipes. Edit, hide, or remove them whenever you like. Sharing on ForkCast doesn't make them exclusive.
What works
- Mix free and members-only. Keep 10 or more recipes free so new followers can try your cooking.
- Add something new every week. A weekly members-only recipe gives people a reason to stay.
- Start at $3.99 to $4.99. It's easy to say yes to, and you can change it later.
- Show the grocery list. A 15-second clip of your recipe landing on someone's plan sells it.
