For all food creators
Showing ads? You’re leaving money on the table.
Your regulars keep coming back, yet the ads are always in the way. RecipeYield lets them pay a small amount to enjoy each recipe ad-free.
The problem
People pay for ad-free everywhere else. On your recipes, they can’t.
-
The ad trap
Good recipes, a frustrating page. That’s what readers remember.
-
The paywall trap
Charging to see the recipe doesn’t work. People just go elsewhere.
-
The fix
The recipe stays free. Readers who want it quiet can pay a little to turn the ads off.
See the difference
Same recipe.
Two very different experiences.
A design suggestion. You control the wording, look, and placement of the ad-free purchase option.

Nerdy note: RecipeYield does not use adblocking code (such as ABP or uBlock Origin) as it is non-compliant with most ad networks; instead, we integrate directly with your ad network. More details in the FAQ.

Frequently asked questions
Let’s clear the table.
General
What is RecipeYield?
A WordPress plugin that lets your readers pay a little to read a recipe ad-free. You earn more than the ads it replaces — guaranteed, or we show nothing.
Is this a paywall?
No. Recipes stay free and open with ads. Ad-free is just an optional upgrade for the readers who want it.
Will it change my site?
No. Your theme, your recipe plugin, your look — all yours. You control the wording and placement of the ad-free option.
Early access
What do early adopters get?
A place among the first food blogs to offer ad-free recipes, a Digital Wellness Champion certificate to show on your site, and 50% off our fees for life — plus hands-on setup. We fit the plugin to your host, ad network, and caching, and keep it updated as we go.
Why early access?
RecipeYield has built the first technology of its kind: selling ad-free recipe reads on any food blog. New technology needs rigorous testing, and real-world setups always require small adjustments. Early access is for bloggers who see the value and want to help roll it out gradually and safely. As an early adopter you join RecipeYield’s founding customer group — with permanent Early Adopter status and the lifetime 50% fee discount.
How do I become an early adopter?
Fill in the short form above — ad network, host, caching, monthly page views, and your email. We’ll reach out and set it up with you. Keep an eye on your spam folder.
Does it cost anything to join?
No. You only pay when a reader pays you — and early adopters pay half our fee, for life.
Is there any risk to my blog?
None. The plugin turns off in one click and your ads go back to normal. Readers see no change until it’s proven to work.
How long does setup take?
One call with us. You install once; we handle the fit — and we only switch on ad-free options once they’re earning you more.
What if it doesn’t work with my setup?
Our tests show RecipeYield works with about 95% of blogs out of the box. Early access is how we get to 100% — we work out the kinks on the setups we can’t reproduce in the lab. In very rare cases (under 0.1%), you may need to change your hosting package to accommodate RecipeYield — never your ad network. If that happens, we’re with you through the transition.
Who handles support and refunds?
We do. Readers come to us with questions and refund requests — you never deal with it.
Can I leave?
Anytime. Turn off the plugin and your ads go back to normal. You keep what you earned, and readers who already paid keep ad-free access for a 12-month run-out, so no one is left stranded.
Revenue
How do I get paid?
We collect the reader’s payment and pay you out automatically. We email a clear weekly summary.
What does a reader get?
Ads off on that recipe, in that browser, for at least 12 months — and for as long as the recipe stays up and the blog uses RecipeYield. A quick email code restores it on a new device.
How are prices set?
We use several signals and AI to set each price so it maximizes your revenue — your ad performance, the reader’s location, the time of day, and more.
What if a recipe would earn less than ads?
Then there’s no button — you never lose a cent. We’d rather show nothing than guess.
What do you charge?
10% of what readers pay. Early adopters get 50% off our fee — for life.
Can I choose how the ad-free CTA looks?
Yes. By default we place a simple text-link option in proximity to the actual recipe. If you want to change it, simply let us know and we’ll customize it for you.
Ad networks
Which networks work today?
We integrate directly with your network — Mediavine, Raptive, Ezoic, AdSense, and more. We never replace it; you keep that relationship.
Is RecipeYield compliant with ad networks?
Yes. Before any offer goes live, we send your network a sample recipe URL and a written explanation and get their approval. We use your network’s own tools to suppress ads for a reader after they buy — never adblocking code.
How do you turn ads off?
We ask your network to skip ads for that reader. No adblocking code — that’s non-compliant with most networks.
WordPress
What WordPress and PHP do you support?
WordPress 6.0 through 7.1, and PHP 7.4 through 8.5.
Do I need a new theme or recipe plugin?
No. Keep everything you have — WP Recipe Maker, WPZOOM, WP Delicious, and more work out of the box.
How do I install it?
We send you the plugin and walk you through the install.
Will this slow down my site?
No. It’s lightweight — and it actually makes your site faster for readers who buy, because it removes the heavy ads.
Do you support my website host?
Yes, in nearly every case. Before your offer goes live, your ad network approves the exact method we use to serve your ad-free readers. Depending on what they approve, most hosts work straight away; others need a small one-time adjustment we prepare for you, and a few need a short support ticket we draft. If yours is one of the rare hosts we can’t support, we’ll tell you before you spend any time on it.
Privacy
What data do you collect?
Only what’s needed: your contact and payout details, the reader’s email for receipts, and your ad numbers to price fairly. The Privacy page has the full details.
Does this website track me?
No. If you enter your details on this site, we keep them only to contact you or to show you a recording of your ad-free recipe. Email privacy@recipeyield.io any time to ask us to delete your data.
Where is the data kept?
Securely on our servers. Stripe handles cards; a trusted provider sends the email. The Privacy page lists the details.
