Trial or Demo of MasterCook

The license for MasterCook is per user. So each person using the program needs to purchase their own license. We have a personal use license and a business use license as explained on our Products page.

The Windows version of MasterCook has many features because the Windows operating system is very powerful and can support many complex functionalities. Websites are not that way, so all web apps and mobile apps are very limited in features and scope. (For example, the Windows version of Microsoft Excel has far more features than the Excel mobile app.)

Feature differences in the MasterCook products:

The Windows version of MasterCook is the most powerful which is why it remains a successful Windows recipe management program since it was first released in the early 1990's. At MasterCook.com you can purchase the Windows program with or without a subscription to MasterCook.com.

If you have a Mac computer, you can either use the MasterCook.com online features or you can install Windows onto your computer, depending on your needs. MasterCook has had many Mac customers since the 1990's. They installed Windows onto their Mac computer, so they can use both Mac and Windows programs. See this article. They have never been able to find a program that has all of the features they use daily in the Windows version of MasterCook, so they can't live without MasterCook. They say they have a few other Windows programs, and they are happy they can use both Mac and Windows programs on the same computer. Contact a computer technician who can explain your options of installing Windows onto a Mac computer.

The online features and mobile apps for MasterCook were introduced over 10 years ago so that people could access their recipes even when they are away from a computer. Many people use tablets in their kitchens for example and need to access their recipes on a tablet instead of a computer.
