# mangia vs. Jow — what's different? — mangia

> Jow auto-fills your supermarket cart. mangia is your own, store-neutral collection — with weekly plan, list, balance and export. The honest comparison.

## mangia and Jow — what's different?

Jow plans your week and drops the ingredients straight into your partner supermarket's cart. mangia is built differently: your own, store-neutral collection from any source — with weekly plan, list, balance and export.

## Feature by feature.

Jow has one clear trump card: it suggests menus and drops the exact ingredients straight into the online cart of big partner supermarkets — that genuinely saves time when ordering. mangia takes a different approach: no ordering automation, but instead your own collection from any source, store-neutral, with plan, list, balance and export.

## Vergleich

| Funktion | mangia | Jow | Hinweis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ingredients automatically in the supermarket cart | ✕ | ✓ | This is Jow's strength: one click, and the ingredients are in the partner supermarket's drive-through cart. mangia doesn't do this — you write a list and shop freely. |
| Your own recipes from any source (URL, photo, PDF) | ✓ | ✕ | mangia automatically reads recipes from websites, photos and PDFs. Jow plans with its own, rather quick recipe pool. |
| Store-neutral — any supermarket | ✓ | ✕ | Jow is built around its partner supermarkets. mangia ties you to no store — you shop wherever you want. |
| Private collection instead of a fixed recipe pool | ✓ | ✕ | In mangia you build your own library and edit every recipe freely. |
| Export recipes (Markdown / CSV) | ✓ | ✕ | With mangia you download your whole collection as a ZIP and take it with you. Your data belongs to you. |
| Weekly plan from ALL your recipes | ✓ | ✕ | mangia plans with every recipe you've collected. Jow plans with its own pool. |
| Nutrition balance / plant diversity | ✓ | ✕ | Over the week, mangia shows you how plant-rich and seasonal you eat — as a gentle nudge. |
| Pricing | Free + Pro | Free | Jow is free for you (partnerships with supermarkets). mangia is ad-free in the free plan; Pro costs 6.90/mo or 49/year. |

## When Jow fits

When you order from a partner supermarket in France (or a Jow market) and want as little effort as possible: tap a menu, the cart is filled, have it delivered. For bridging straight from recipe to order, Jow is strong.

## When mangia fits

When you want to collect your own recipes from any source, store-independent — with weekly plan, list, balance and the option to export everything anytime. mangia is your private kitchen hub, not an ordering service.

## From Jow to mangia

Jow is app-centric — there's no classic recipe export. In mangia you build your collection fresh instead: import your favourite recipes by URL, photo or PDF, done. The upside: they then belong to you and can be exported again anytime.

## Comparison FAQ

**Does mangia also drop the ingredients straight into the supermarket cart?**

No — that's Jow's speciality, and we'll say honestly that mangia doesn't do it. mangia builds you a clear shopping list (same ingredients combined) that you shop with freely, wherever you want — in store or with any delivery service you like.

**Can I plan in mangia with my own recipes?**

Yes, that's the core. You plan with every recipe you've collected — no matter where it's from. Jow plans with its own recipe pool.

**Is mangia tied to a specific supermarket?**

No. mangia is store-neutral. You get a list and decide for yourself where to shop.

**Can I use both?**

Sure. Some people plan and collect in mangia and order their weekly groceries separately. The apps don't rule each other out — they solve different parts of everyday life.

**Can I get my recipes back out of mangia?**

Anytime. One click exports your whole collection as a ZIP — recipes as Markdown, plans and lists as CSV. No lock-in.
