One job: help you choose at the shelf
No diary, no daily log, no feed. Just the products in front of you and a clear answer.
Pick your goal
General nutrition, or a goal mode: weight loss, blood sugar, heart and sodium, high protein, GLP-1, vegetarian or kids.
Scan 2 to 6 items
Barcodes are fastest and most accurate. A Nutrition Facts label, a photo of the packs, search or a restaurant menu work too.
Get the pick and the why
A ranked list with a recommended pick, the score gaps, and up to three reasons stated as nutrient facts. Close calls are called close.
Fast, fair and honest about its data
Barcode first
USDA FoodData Central and Open Food Facts, matched in seconds. Every product shows where its numbers came from.
Label scan when it's missing
Photograph the Nutrition Facts panel. Numbers the reader is unsure of are highlighted for you to check before anything is ranked.
A photo of the shelf
Snap several packs at once; Food Compare finds each one in the database. Nutrition always comes from the record, never a guess from the photo.
Restaurant menus
Burgers, bowls, salads, sandwiches and more from 150+ chains, compared per item as served — without the sodas and sauces in the way.
Per 100 g by default
A smaller stated serving can't make a product win. Switch to per serving any time and the ranking updates.
Your allergens, flagged
Set peanuts, milk, gluten or anything you type yourself; matching products are flagged on every comparison. Always check the package.
Ties stay ties
When products are within a few points, you see "no clear recommendation" — not a made-up winner.
History for repeat trips
Every comparison is saved. Re-run your weekly yogurt or cereal set in one tap.
Share the top pick
A clean "Top pick of N" card for messages and social, with no personal goals or data on it.

The same products, judged for your goal
General comparisons are free. Premium re-ranks any comparison for the nutrients that matter to you — and tells you when your goal changes the pick.

Questions
Is Food Compare free?
Yes. Comparing in General mode is free and unlimited by barcode, search and restaurant menus. Every account also gets 50 free AI photo reads (Nutrition Facts labels and photos of products) to try. Premium adds the goal modes and keeps photo reads going, monthly or yearly, billed through the App Store or Google Play.
How is the Nutrition Score worked out?
From each product's Nutrition Facts per 100 g: sugar (added sugar when the label lists it), saturated fat, sodium, fibre, protein and processing, each on published bands, weighted by your goal. The full method is in the app under "How the Nutrition Score works". Restaurant items are compared per item, on meal-sized bands.
Where does the nutrition data come from?
USDA FoodData Central, Open Food Facts, restaurant nutrition information, and labels scanned by users. Each product shows its source; a scanned label is used for you right away and shared with others only after a second scan agrees.
Can I trust the allergen alerts?
They help, but they are not a guarantee. Alerts are generated automatically from databases and from AI that reads labels and photos, and can be incomplete or wrong. Always read the package before you eat or serve a product.
Is this medical advice?
No. Food Compare compares nutrition facts and names a recommended pick. It does not diagnose or treat any condition.
Do I need an account?
Yes — sign in with Apple, Google or email. Your comparison history and allergen settings stay on your phone.
Food Compare compares nutrition facts; it is general information, not medical advice. Allergen and ingredient information may be incomplete or wrong — always check the package.
