Michelle T. 5.0 
„Saves time, money, and nerves!“
Super practical app! Thanks to the local offers I get fitting recipe suggestions. Preferences, portion size, and allergens are easy to set. Recipes plus a shopping list — that saves time, money, and makes everyday life so much easier!
Udo 5.0
„A great alternative when it has to be quick.“
Quick ideas that match the offers in my supermarket. Saves time and money when you don't feel like planning.
Eileen 5.0
„Like Tinder, but for dinner“
Since I started using Sparchef I no longer need so much time to compare offers and figure out what to cook. The exclusion feature in Premium is my favorite! Absolutely recommend it!
Patcharin 5.0
„Works great, tasty recipes, and I really save money!“
At first I was a bit skeptical since the app is free, but I got the Premium version after a short while because I can also cook low-carb and high-protein recipes. My savings when shopping are clear!
Christian Busch
Founder & developer of Sparchef
The person behind Sparchef
No corporation. One developer who wanted to save money himself.
I'm Christian Busch, a computer scientist from Groß-Zimmern near Darmstadt, Germany. I spent years leading IT organizations - most recently as Director of IT and interim CIO - and built a software startup with a successful exit. Today I run the digital studio Nerdpool.
Even so, I never had the patience to comb through weekly offer flyers. So I built Sparchef: in about three months, entirely on my own, from the first sketch to release on the App Store and Play Store - and I've been improving the app week after week ever since.
Most cooking apps ask: what are you in the mood for? Sparchef asks: what's on sale this week?
