Frequently Asked Questions
Getting Started
When will TinyPlates launch? ▼
We're working hard to launch TinyPlates as soon as possible. Join the waitlist to be the first to know when we go live. Waitlist members will get exclusive early access before the public launch.
What ages is TinyPlates designed for? ▼
TinyPlates is designed for babies and toddlers aged 6 months to 3 years. This covers the entire weaning journey from first tastes through to independent toddler eating. Recipes and portions automatically adjust based on your child's age and feeding stage.
Will there be iOS and Android apps? ▼
Yes! We're building native apps for both iOS and Android, as well as a web app you can access from any browser. Your data syncs across all devices automatically.
Meals & Recipes
How does the AI generate meal plans? ▼
Every recipe in TinyPlates is expert-approved — sourced from NHS Start4Life and Gov.uk, designed for babies and toddlers by dietitians and health professionals. We never use AI to create recipes. What the AI does is the planning part: it looks at your child's age, stage, allergies, and what they like and don't like, then picks the right meals, makes sure the nutrition is balanced across the week, and puts together your shopping list. Think of it as having a really organised friend who knows exactly what your little one needs — but every recipe they suggest comes from trusted NHS and government sources.
Can I swap out individual meals? ▼
Absolutely! You can swap any meal with a single tap. The AI will suggest alternatives that maintain nutritional balance for the day. You can also add your own recipes to the rotation.
Do you support baby-led weaning (BLW)? ▼
Yes! When you set up your child's profile, you can choose between traditional weaning (purees), baby-led weaning (finger foods), or a combination approach. Recipes are adapted accordingly with appropriate textures and portion guidance.
Where do the recipes come from? ▼
Every recipe in TinyPlates comes from trusted UK sources — primarily NHS Start4Life and Gov.uk. These are real recipes developed by dietitians and health professionals, not generated by AI. Our AI handles the meal planning — choosing which recipes to serve each day based on your child's age, allergies, preferences, and nutritional balance.
Shopping & Prices
Which supermarkets do you compare prices for? ▼
We compare prices across Tesco, Sainsbury's, Aldi, Lidl, Asda, and Waitrose. You can see a side-by-side comparison of your weekly shop total and individual item prices to find the cheapest option.
How accurate are the prices? ▼
Prices are updated regularly and reflect online/delivery prices. Actual in-store prices may vary slightly. We show the most recent available data for each supermarket.
Pricing & Billing
Is TinyPlates really free? ▼
Yes! The free tier includes 3-day meal plans, 100+ recipes, a basic shopping list, allergen tracking, and one child profile. No credit card required, no time limit. Premium features like 7-day plans, price comparison, and nutrition dashboard are available for £4.99/month.
Can I cancel premium at any time? ▼
Yes, you can cancel your premium subscription at any time. You'll continue to have premium access until the end of your current billing period, then revert to the free tier. No cancellation fees.
Is there a free trial for premium? ▼
Yes! New users get a 7-day free trial of premium features. You won't be charged if you cancel before the trial ends. During early access, all features are free for waitlist members.
Privacy & Security
Is my child's data safe? ▼
Absolutely. We're UK GDPR compliant and comply with the ICO Children's Code. We never sell your data, never use children's data for marketing, and encrypt everything in transit and at rest. You can delete all data at any time. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
Can I export or delete my data? ▼
Yes. Under UK GDPR, you have the right to data portability (export) and erasure (deletion). You can request either by emailing [email protected] or through the app settings. We'll process your request within 30 days.
