Understanding Smartteller
What is Smartteller?
Smartteller is an AI-assisted platform for meal planning. It connects weekly plans, a budget frame, shopping list, pantry and leftover use in one workflow.
Does Smartteller replace my own decisions?
No. Suggestions can be changed, replaced or discarded. Allergies, intolerances and individual health requirements must be checked by the user.
Does Smartteller replace nutrition counselling?
No. Smartteller is a planning tool and not medical nutrition advice, diagnosis or therapy.
Meal plans and recipes
Can I state allergies and intolerances?
Such information can flow into the planning. Smartteller does not guarantee medically safe allergen freedom and does not replace checking packaging and cross-contamination.
Budget and cheaper shopping
Can I set a grocery budget?
Yes. A weekly or other budget frame serves as a planning target. It is not a price guarantee, because regional prices, pack sizes and offers vary.
Does Smartteller guarantee a certain saving?
No. Savings depend on previous shopping behaviour, household, store, region, season and actual implementation.
Shopping list, pantry and leftovers
How is the shopping list created?
The ingredients needed are brought together from the planned dishes. Supplies you already have can be subtracted so that only the additional need remains.
What is the leftover helper?
The leftover helper creates recipe ideas from ingredients that are still available or should be used soon.
Profiles
How do household profiles work?
A profile stores planning basics such as number of people, budget, diet and selected stores, so important details do not have to be entered again for every plan.
Access, platforms and technology
Where can I use Smartteller?
Smartteller is available as a web app and as a public Android app on Google Play. The release in the Apple App Store is planned by 1 November 2026.
Is there an iPhone app?
The release is planned by 1 November 2026. Until then you can use Smartteller on iPhone and iPad through the web app at webapp.smartteller.de.
Do I need an account?
An account is required for personalised profiles, saved plans and use across devices. Public information pages are accessible without signing in.
Which browsers are supported?
Current versions of common browsers such as Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari are intended. Outdated browsers can cause display or functional problems.
Costs, limits and advertising
Is Smartteller free?
You can start for free. Free allows two plan creations without AI credits. Basic is free with email registration and financed by rewarded videos from Google AdMob. Plus and Max are paid. The plan section in the app shows the scope and current prices.
