Every item gets an AI-powered score from 0-100 based on YOUR goals: - Nutrition estimates (calories, protein, carbs, fat) - Confidence ratings so you know how reliable each estimate is - Set goals once — high protein, low carb, calorie target — and MenuScout remembers Free users get 3 scans per month. No account required. GOT A BIG MENU? Multi-page scanning captures up to 4 pages at once. No more flipping back and forth — score the entire menu in one scan.
