## What is SnakeOil?

Point your camera at any product. Find out if it's actually the best — or if something better exists.
SnakeOil cuts through marketing to tell you what the science, benchmarks, and independent testing actually say about    any product you photograph. We score everything 0–100 based on one question: how close is this to the best available    option at its price?                                                                                                  

HOW IT WORKS                                                                                                          
  Photograph any product label, packaging, or barcode. Our AI identifies the product, pulls independent research —        peer-reviewed clinical trials for supplements and skincare, benchmark tests for tech and appliances, veterinary
  studies for pet products — and scores it based on real evidence, not brand claims.                                    
  You get:
  • A 0–100 score: how close this is to the best achievable outcome at this price
  • An evidence-based breakdown of what actually works and what doesn't                                                   • 3 better alternatives of the exact same product type, with specific evidence for why they're superior                 • Direct buy links so you can upgrade instantly                                                                                                                                                                                                 WHAT WE ANALYZE

SnakeOil does not accept payment from brands. We never recommend a product because it paid us — only because the independent evidence supports it. Affiliate links appear only when available, and never as a condition for any recommendation.
