Question 1

Is Mise free?

Accepted Answer

Free includes the full 7,500-recipe catalogue, Cook Mode, unlimited manual pantry and grocery lists, saved recipes, Apple Health body-metric sync, cooking streaks, and the full Learn library. Its AI feature maxima are 1 plan every 14 days, 5 Sage messages per rolling 30 days, 1 Photo → Pantry scan per rolling 30 days, and 2 photo-label Product Fit scans per rolling 30 days; those maxima share a fair-use AI safety allowance. Barcode and cached Product Fit checks remain available under a generous abuse guard. No credit card. Mise Plus ($9.99/mo or $79.99/yr) unlocks AI features for normal personal use, meal swaps, full-plan regeneration, receipt and menu scanning, custom recipe generation, recipe import, Samsung fridge-camera integration when available, smart grocery pricing, and pantry expiration reminders.

Question 2

Does Mise Plus have a free trial?

Accepted Answer

Eligible new subscribers can try annual Mise Plus free for 14 days; the $9.99 monthly plan begins billing immediately. The App Store determines eligibility. Trial feature maxima are 3 complete plan generations (including regenerations), 30 Sage messages, 5 combined pantry, receipt, menu, or product-label photo scans, 5 AI meal swaps, and 3 combined custom recipe generations or imports, with matching cover generation when needed. Those maxima share a trial-wide AI safety allowance. Family Plus does not include a free trial. After the trial, annual Mise Plus renews at $79.99/year unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the trial ends.

Question 3

What platforms does Mise run on?

Accepted Answer

Mise launches on iPhone first (iOS 17+). Android is on the roadmap — when it ships the same plan, pantry, and grocery list will sync across both.

Question 4

Do I need a fitness tracker?

Accepted Answer

No. Mise works great with manual entry. If you connect Apple Health, Mise reads weight and body-composition signals so plans adapt as you do — but it's not required.

Question 5

What is Cook Mode?

Accepted Answer

Open any recipe and tap Start cooking. Mise becomes a full-screen sous-chef — big type for hands-on-counter readability, swipe-through steps, and timers that auto-detect from the recipe text. A step that says "bake 25 minutes" gets a timer card you can start with one tap.

Question 6

What can Sage do?

Accepted Answer

Sage is Mise's AI sous-chef. Chat in plain English — or hold the mic for voice — and Sage runs real actions: swap Thursday's dinner for something lighter, add chickpeas to your pantry, regenerate the whole week as vegetarian, look up what's for dinner tonight, pull up your grocery list. Sage remembers what you've told it across sessions so you don't have to keep re-explaining. Free has a maximum of 5 messages per rolling 30 days within its shared AI safety allowance; Sage actions such as swaps and full-plan regeneration require Mise Plus. Paid access is included for normal personal use, subject to abuse-prevention and emergency spend safeguards.
