What is the Herbi meal planning app?
Herbi is an iPhone meal-planning app that combines recipes, personalised meal plans, supermarket and budget preferences, and shopping lists. That makes it relevant to people searching for a single place to decide what to cook and what to buy.
The important distinction is that Herbi is its own product with its own pricing and data sources. If you are comparing it with MUNCH, compare the workflow you actually need rather than treating every meal-planning app as identical.
Is Herbi free? Current UK App Store pricing
Herbi is free to download. The UK App Store currently shows optional in-app purchases. These are the prices displayed when this guide was verified on 19 September 2026, not a promise about future pricing.
| Store label | Displayed price | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Herbi Pro Yearly | £39.99 | Confirm term and renewal details in checkout. |
| Herbi Pro | £12.99 | The listing does not make every offer identical. |
| Yearly discount | £29.99 | Promotional availability can change. |
| Monthly discount | £9.99 | Use the price shown at purchase time. |
Herbi's terms say certain features may require a subscription or one-time purchase and that trial or promotional terms may vary. That is why this guide cites the store listing instead of presenting one permanent Herbi price.
Is the Herbi app available on Android?
As of this check, Herbi's official UK listing is an iPhone App Store page. We did not find an official Herbi Google Play listing. That matters because "Herbi app Android" is a common practical question: platform availability can be more important than a feature comparison.
If you use Android, MUNCH's grocery and meal-planning workflowis available through Google Play. iPhone users can download MUNCH from the UK App Store.
Herbi vs MUNCH: what is actually different?
| Area | Herbi | MUNCH |
|---|---|---|
| Platforms checked | iPhone | iOS and Android |
| Download model | Free download with in-app purchases | Free download; optional MUNCH+ Performance |
| Meal planning | Personalised plans and recipes | Personalised plans, nutrition tools and shopping-list workflows |
| Shopping support | Smart shopping lists and supermarket preference | Shopping lists linked to meal planning and UK supermarket ingredient data |
| Premium path | Herbi Pro purchase options | MUNCH+ Performance Center from £1.99/month |
This is not a ranking table. If you mainly want Herbi's recipe-import and iPhone workflow, evaluate Herbi on that basis. If you need Android support or want to try MUNCH's wider lifestyle-planning flow, test MUNCH on your device first.
