PantryScore turns the barcode on any packaged food into a single 0–100 score backed by established public nutrition databases and a transparent, science-based methodology. How it works Point your camera at a barcode and PantryScore pulls the product's full ingredient list, nutrition facts, additive profile, and processing classification, then runs them through a three-pillar model. Everything happens on-device after the lookup. There is no account to create and no profile to fill out. Restaurants — not just packaged food PantryScore covers thousands of restaurant menu items too. Search a chain, tap a dish, and see the same honest 0–100 score, the same allergen flags, the same per-serving macro breakdown. From fast food to sit-down chains, you finally get to compare what's actually on your plate against what you'd buy at the grocery store. The score Every product is scored on three pillars: — Nutritional quality (75%) compares the per-serving macros against established daily-intake guidelines from the WHO and the American Heart Association, calibrated against the Nutri-Score scale. — Additive load (20%) flags red-tier (banned or restricted in some jurisdictions), orange-tier (linked to inflammatory or metabolic concerns), and yellow-tier (commonly used but worth knowing) additives, and applies the NOVA processing classification. — Ingredient quality (5%) reads the ingredient text for refined sweeteners, hydrogenated fats, and ultra-processed markers. The result is a number that means something: a fresh apple scores in the 90s, a soda scores in the teens, and a fruit-and-nut bar with no added sugar lands in between rather than getting punished for "being packaged". Honesty principles Whole-fruit products are not penalised for natural sugar. Olive oil, honey, and maple syrup show authenticity guidance instead of a score because they are too often adulterated to score fairly. Restaurant dishes are classified by preparation method (grilled vs fried) rather than blanket-labelled as ultra-processed. What it shows you Per-serving nutrition that matches the label on the package or the menu. Allergen detection across the nine major U.S. allergens — for both groceries and restaurants. A glossary that explains every additive in plain English. Favorites and history kept on-device. What it does not do No accounts. No ads. No tracking. No third-party analytics. No data sold or shared. Your camera feed never leaves your phone. PantryScore is informational. It is not medical advice and does not replace guidance from a registered dietitian or physician.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PantryScore at 5.0 against Saadeddin's 3.9. PantryScore also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). Saadeddin's advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 26.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
PantryScore holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Saadeddin has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Saadeddin's written reviews are positive against 100% of PantryScore's.
Saadeddin ships an update monthly, PantryScore fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
