Dining out with dietary restrictions or food allergies shouldn't feel like a research project. Pickle Plate scans restaurant menus and tells you exactly what to order and what to skip based on your personal profile. HOW IT WORKS Point your camera at a menu (even a multi-page one), and Pickle Plate reads every item. In seconds, you get a personalized recommendation: a top entree pick, a few other solid choices, and a clear list of anything that conflicts with your allergens so you can relax and enjoy the meal. BUILT FOR YOUR DIET Set up your profile once with your dietary style (example: keto, vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, gluten-free, or calorie-conscious) and your allergens (example: peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, fish, dairy, gluten, eggs, or soy). Add custom notes for anything more specific. Pickle Plate remembers your profile and uses it every time you scan. YOUR SCAN HISTORY Every menu you scan is saved so you can reference it later. Great for returning to a restaurant or sharing recommendations. A NOTE ON AI Pickle Plate uses AI to read menus and make recommendations. AI can make mistakes. Always confirm ingredients with your server before ordering, especially for serious allergies. Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Pickle Plate sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Dish Society asks for nothing beyond the download.
Dish Society holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dish Society has 1.5K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Dish Society's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pickle Plate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Dish Society ships an update every 8 days, Pickle Plate every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
