Cookidoo is an online platform and recipe library provided by Thermomix. It is designed to enhance the cooking experience for Thermomix users by offering a vast collection of recipes, meal plans, collections and categories, and various features such as community and user interactions, syncing and connectivity, and mobile app and offline access.

Here are a few reasons why Cookidoo is not a free service:

1. Recipe Development and Maintenance: Developing and curating a comprehensive recipe library requires significant effort, resources, and expertise. Recipe creators and developers spend time testing, refining, and documenting recipes to ensure they are accurate, reliable, and suitable for use with the Thermomix. 
2. Platform and Technical Support: Running an online platform like Cookidoo involves costs related to server maintenance, infrastructure, and technical support. Providing a seamless user experience, ensuring platform stability, and addressing any technical issues require ongoing investment.
3. Continuous Content Updates: Cookidoo frequently adds new recipes, meal plans, and features to enhance the user experience. These updates involve recipe creation, testing, and curation, which require resources and investments to continually deliver fresh and engaging content.
4. Licensing and Copyright: Cookidoo may need to secure licensing rights for certain recipes, especially if they include copyrighted content or are sourced from external chefs or contributors. Obtaining these licenses and ensuring compliance with copyright laws can incur costs that may be reflected in the subscription fees.
5. User Benefits and Convenience: Subscribing to Cookidoo often provides users with additional benefits beyond just accessing the recipe library. This may include features like personalized meal planning, shopping lists, recipe collections, and community forums, which enhance the overall cooking experience and convenience for users.
