It does not replace medical advice. Food ingredients and allergen information can change. Always check product packaging and manufacturer information. If you have a severe or life-threatening allergy, do not rely solely on Allerllama to determine whether a food is safe to eat.

ClearKitchen answers the question no restaurant app answers: what actually happens in that kitchen? A dish can contain none of your allergen and still be dangerous — shared fryers, shared grills, shared cookware, even shared dishware. If you or your child has a severe food allergy, you already know the drill: call ahead, ask for a manager, interrogate the kitchen. ClearKitchen is that drill, turned into a tool. YOUR REQUIREMENTS, NOT A GENERIC BADGE Set each allergen with a severity level — from "I avoid it" to "cross-contact is dangerous for me" — and the exact kitchen practices you need: no shared fryer, dedicated prep, separate dishware, allergen never in the kitchen at all. Every restaurant gets a personal verdict: Strong match, Possible match, Not a match, or Insufficient info. We never show anyone a universal "safe" label, because there is no such thing. EVERY FACT DATED AND SOURCED Kitchen facts are graded by evidence: restaurant-confirmed (expires and must be reconfirmed), community-confirmed by structured reports from diners with your allergen, published information, or unverified signals — which only ever appear as warnings and questions to ask. YOUR CHEF CARD AND CALL SCRIPT, OFFLINE ClearKitchen generates the exact questions to ask any kitchen based on your profile, plus a shareable chef card. Works offline, anywhere on earth, from the minute you install. CHAIN ALLERGEN GUIDES Published allergen information for national chains — including which chains' menus contain no fish or shellfish at all. BUILT HONEST Safety warnings and conflicts are never behind the paywall. Community reports are structured questionnaires, reviewed before publishing — not star ratings. No account, no tracking, and your allergy profile never leaves your device. Premium adds match filters and sorting, family profiles (up to 5), and chef card translations. Free forever: search, verdicts, every warning, chain guides, your chef card. ClearKitchen shows reported information — it never certifies a kitchen as safe. Always confirm directly with staff before ordering, every visit. Terms of Use: https://clearkitchen.vercel.app/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://clearkitchen.vercel.app/privacy.html

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: Allerllama at 3 against ClearKitchen's 1. Allerllama also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
