Jacapo is a personalised food guide, where you are the editor and all the content is from your friends and peers. Create collections to keep track of where you want to visit, plan trips abroad, or to share curated lists with your friends and followers. Invite others to share their recommendations with you, even if they don't have the Jacapo app. Never search through reviews from strangers again. No paid listings. No bad reviews.

The MICHELIN Guide's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly) and review sentiment (41% vs 29%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
