What Zorivio brings to meal planning
- A whole household: each person with their own serving size, your allergies, restrictions and cooking days.
- Planned cooking sessions and leftovers, so you cook less often.
- An explanation for every choice: reasons, trade-offs and limitations.
- A consolidated grocery list, with each item linked to its meal.
- A light inventory, your preferred stores, safe substitutions and a cart grouped by retailer; you complete the purchase with the retailer.
- A weekly budget and the Zorivio Score, never presenting estimated savings as measured.
- An interface in English and French, for Canada and the United States.
What Mealime does well
Until October 21, 2026, Mealime offers simple weekly meal planning, a grocery list sorted by category and a hands-free cooking mode. If that is what you liked, Zorivio keeps the same idea of a clear plan through to the list, and adds the household, leftovers and budget.
Keeping your Mealime recipes
Mealime’s announcement does not provide an export. Before October 21, 2026, write down or copy the recipes you want to keep. They will also remain available on Meals Hub, inside the US store apps of Albertsons Companies.
