- You have more than 50 recipes — Premium removes the recipe storage cap
- You want step-by-step cooking mode — large-text guided cooking with built-in timers
- You want Smart Meal Planning — auto-fill a random week and copy a week forward
- You want nutrition info — see calories, protein, carbs, and fat for every recipe
- You cook in multiple languages — recipe translation lets you translate any recipe into your preferred language
- You want to share recipes with other Cookonut users — direct user-to-user sharing is a Premium feature
