Is there dairy in this? What's in the sauce? Could you check with the kitchen? If you live with a food allergy, you know the routine. Searching dishes one by one under the table. Asking the waiter twice. Everyone waiting while you do it. Gustia ends the routine. Snap the menu — every page, the whole thing — and Gustia checks every dish against your allergies at once. The ones you can't eat light up red, with the allergen named. Everything else is yours to choose from. No searching dish by dish. No interrogating the waiter. No doing it in front of everybody. ONE SCAN. THE WHOLE MENU. Point your camera at the menu, or pull it straight from the restaurant's website in one tap. Gustia reads every dish on every page and checks all of them for you. Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian — accents, local dish names and all. IT KNOWS WHAT THE MENU DOESN'T SAY Menus list dishes, not ingredients. Gustia fills in what's in each dish and how it's made, including the things nobody thinks to mention. Did you know macarons are made with almonds? Gustia does. Caesar sauce contains fish, by the way. SEE THE DISH BEFORE YOU ORDER Most menus are just names and prices. Gustia shows you what each dish usually looks like, so you know what you're choosing even when the restaurant has no photos at all. YOUR ALLERGENS, FLAGGED AND NAMED Dishes with your allergen go red and tell you which one. Anything doubtful gets flagged too, so you see it before you order. Or hide them all and look only at what you can eat. Peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, gluten, shellfish, fish, soy, egg, sesame, mustard, celery and more. CHOOSE FROM YOUR COUCH Open the menu at home, pick your dish, walk in already knowing what you'll order. Every menu you add stays in your library, ready the moment you sit down next time. 421 DISHES DOWN TO 42 Filter a huge menu by your allergens, your diet and your mood — healthy, quick, comforting — and see only the dishes that fit. FIND ALLERGY-FRIENDLY RESTAURANTS Tell Gustia what you're after in your own words — "somewhere healthy nearby, no seafood, not too expensive" — and it finds a real restaurant near you and takes you straight to it. IT KNOWS HOW YOU EAT Allergens, diet, ingredients you'd rather skip, favourite cuisines, tastes you love. Two minutes to set up, and you can add the thing you forgot anytime. ORDER IT BY NAME A pronunciation guide under dish names, so you can say it like you've ordered it before. WHO IT'S FOR — Anyone with a food allergy who's tired of interviewing the waiter — Celiac, lactose intolerance, or a diet you stick to: vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, halal — Parents ordering for a kid who can't have something — Travellers facing a menu in a language they don't read FREE. NO ADS. No subscription, no paywall, no ads. Every feature, for everyone. MADE BY PEOPLE WHO EAT LIKE YOU Every menu someone adds stays there for the next person with the same allergy, at that restaurant, in that city. Each scan makes eating out a little easier for every allergic and dietary diner who comes after you. Add one menu, and you've done the asking for all of them. Skip the questions. Order the dish.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gustia at none against Chomps's 6. Chomps's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
