Create Studio

Create Studio connects a WordPress website to Create’s plans and subscription management. Create publishes Recipe, How-to, and List cards, generates Recipe, HowTo, and ItemList JSON-LD, and works with both the Gutenberg block editor and Classic Editor, with shortcode fallback. Built-in recipe importers cover more than 10 plugins.

Features by plan

Every new website starts on Free. Choose or change plans in Create > Settings. Available utilities depend on the plan and card type.

Free and Free+

Free includes Recipe, How-to, and List cards with schema, manual nutrition entry, Recommended Products, the Amazon Creators API integration, built-in recipe importers, and five standard card themes. After connecting the site to Create Studio, manual nutrition entry is available on any plan. Reviews already collected continue to display.

Free+ is also free and ad-supported. It adds automatic nutrition calculation, product and list-item scraping, new reader ratings and reviews, Interactive Mode, Adjustable Servings, and Unit Conversion. Interactive Mode is always on for Recipe and How-to cards on Free+. It opens in a new tab, where ads appear within Interactive Mode; ads do not appear on the publisher’s own site.
