Dinelist vs Scanity

The restaurant app that actually helps groups decide. Swipe solo to build your perfect restaurant lists. When it's time to eat, invite friends to swipe—Dinelist's AI shows you what everyone loves. No more endless scrolling, group chat chaos, or settling for the same old spots. HOW IT WORKS Start Solo – Build Your Lists Swipe through restaurants and save favorites to custom lists: Date night spots Quick lunch options Places to try for delivery Your go-to weekend brunch spots Every swipe is beautiful. Every card shows what actually matters—vibe, noise level, what people loved, what they didn't. The AI learns your taste as you go. Decide Together – Invite Your Group When it's time to pick a place: Create a session: dine-in, delivery, or pickup Invite friends to swipe Everyone sees their matches instantly AI shows consensus: "4 of 5 people loved this. Sarah's been here before." Reach a decision in 2 minutes. Not 30. WHY DINELIST ACTUALLY WORKS AI That Gets It We synthesize thousands of reviews into insights that matter: "Cozy Italian spot. Amazing carbonara. Gets loud after 8 PM." No more reading 50 Yelp reviews to figure out if you'll like a place. Built for Groups, Not Just You Every other restaurant app is built for solo browsing. Dinelist is built for the reality of how people actually eat—together. The group mode isn't an afterthought; it's the whole point. Your Lists, Your Way Organize restaurants however makes sense to you. By occasion, by neighborhood, by cuisine, by mood. Build your personal database of spots you actually want to remember. Real Consensus See exactly what your friends think. No more "I don't care" or "whatever you want." Everyone swipes, everyone has a voice, and the AI surfaces options that actually work for the group. Personalization That Learns The more you swipe, the smarter Dinelist gets. It learns what you love, what you avoid, and the patterns in your preferences. Your recommendations get better every time you use it. THE RESULTS Our users reach group dining decisions 34% of the time. Industry standard? Less than 10%. Why?

Scan a food barcode. Scanity reads the ingredient list and checks it against your own blocklist — then tells you plainly: safe, caution, or avoid. No opaque health score. No brand's opinion of what is good for you. Your rules, and the evidence that led to the verdict. WHAT IT CHECKS • Artificial dyes — 6 certified colour additives, and their aliases • Seed oils — canola, soybean, sunflower and 8 more • Added sugar syrups — HFCS, isoglucose, corn syrup • Ultra-processed markers — emulsifiers, isolates, flavourings • Gluten, dairy and soy, including cross-contact grains • Anything else you type in — aspartame, MSG, carrageenan, titanium dioxide, or your own list SHOWS ITS WORKING Every verdict names the rule that produced it. Open Decode and see the label exactly as printed, then every token resolved against your rules — what matched, what did not, and which alias fired. If Scanity flags something, you can check why. BUILT NOT TO GUESS Matching is whole-word, so "malt" never fires inside "maltodextrin". A blocked ingredient counts once, however many aliases it has. When an ingredient is unknown, Scanity says unknown — it never reports a clean result it cannot back up. NO ACCOUNT, NO PROFILE There is nothing to sign up for. Your blocklist and your scan history live in local storage on your device — they are never uploaded, and there is no account to attach them to. Scanning a barcode sends that barcode to look the product up, and nothing else. YOUR LOG IS A RECORD, NOT A GUESS Every scan is kept with the verdict it got and the rules that produced it. Change a filter later and old entries do not silently rewrite themselves — they are marked as scanned under different rules. WHERE THE DATA COMES FROM Ingredient data is built on USDA FoodData Central, with Open Food Facts filling in products USDA does not carry. Both are open databases you can check for yourself.
