Frequently asked questions
How Savorible works, what it costs, and what happens to your recipes — so you can tell whether it fits before you spend an evening on it.
Trying Savorible
Do I need a credit card to try Savorible?
No. You can sign up, create your food blog, write recipes and upload photos for 30 days without entering a card.
A subscription is what puts your food blog on the public web, so publishing does need one. If you subscribe while the free trial is still running, you are not charged until the trial would have ended anyway.
How long is the free trial?
30 days, counted from the moment you create your food blog. The date is fixed when the blog is created and shown on your billing page.
If the trial ends with nothing paying for the blog, the blog stays offline and the dashboard becomes read-only. Nothing is deleted, and subscribing brings all of it back.
Do I need to know how to build a website?
No. There is nothing to install, no theme to choose and no plugins to assemble. You write a recipe on a page that looks like the finished recipe, and press publish.
The only things you customise are a logo and an accent colour. Every Savorible blog uses the same layout, which is why there is nothing to configure or keep updated.
Pricing and billing
How much does Savorible cost?
$25 / month, or $250 / year if you pay for a year at once — a saving of 17%.
There is one subscription and one price. There are no tiers, no add-ons and no feature held back for a more expensive plan.
Is hosting included?
Yes. Hosting, SSL, backups and updates are all part of the subscription. There is no separate host to sign up with and no server to keep patched.
Photos you upload are hosted by Savorible too, so you do not need an image host or a CDN.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes. You cancel from the billing portal, reached from Manage billing on your billing page.
Your food blog stays online until the end of the period you have already paid for, and your billing page shows that date.
What happens if I cancel?
Your blog stays online until the end of the period you paid for. After that it stops being served to readers and the dashboard becomes read-only.
Nothing is deleted. Every recipe, photo, tag and setting is kept exactly as it was, and subscribing again puts the blog back on the web with no work on your part.
Your recipes and photos
Do I own my recipes and photos?
Yes. Your recipes, your words and your photos are yours. Savorible hosts and publishes them for you; it does not take ownership of them, and it does not publish them anywhere but your own food blog.
If you stop paying, nothing is deleted — your work stays in your account and comes back the moment you subscribe again.
Can I upload my own photos?
Yes. You can upload a photo of the finished dish, a photo for any individual instruction step, and your blog logo. JPEG, PNG, WebP and AVIF are accepted, up to 20 MB per image.
If a photo is already online somewhere, you can paste a link to it instead. Uploading is the safer option, because a linked photo disappears if the site you linked from removes it.
How many recipes can I publish?
As many as you like. There is no limit on recipes or photos, and no counter that changes what you pay.
Can more than one person write for my blog?
Not yet. A blog has one account behind it and one author name printed on its recipes.
Publishing and search
Are recipe pages built for search engines?
Yes, without you configuring anything. Every published recipe carries schema.org Recipe structured data built from what you filled in — ingredients, numbered steps, timings, servings, photo — plus a page title, a description, a canonical address and Open Graph tags for sharing.
You can override the title and description search engines show, and add a course, cuisine and keywords, but most recipes need none of that. There is no SEO plugin to install.
Can readers print a recipe?
Yes. Every published recipe has a print button, and the printed version drops the navigation, the footer and the related recipes so a reader gets the recipe rather than the website.
Can I work on a recipe before anyone sees it?
Yes. A recipe is a draft until you publish it, and a draft has no public address at all — it is not listed, not linked and not reachable by guessing.
You can preview a draft as a finished page at desktop, tablet and mobile widths before you publish it.
Do I need Google Analytics for my food blog?
No. Savorible includes a simple analytics page on your dashboard: page views, visitors, top recipes, landing pages, referrers and UTM campaigns.
You do not create a Google Analytics account, and visits to your food blog are not sent into Savorible’s own marketing analytics. Readers stay anonymous — Savorible does not store names, email addresses or IP addresses for this.
What cookies does a Savorible food blog use?
A hosted food blog sets a first-party cookie with a random visitor identifier, so the owner can see roughly how many people visited, and a short-lived visit cookie so the first page of a visit can be reported as a landing page.
Those cookies do not identify a reader by name or email, are not used to profile people across blogs, and are not a third-party tracker. Savorible’s own pages may load Google Analytics and an OpenAI ads pixel separately; neither is used on a hosted food blog.
