Stop buying chocolate blindly. Scan a bar before you buy or taste it to see what's behind the wrapper: the maker, origin, cocoa %, ingredients, flavor notes, and its Chof Score. Free to scan, no signup. HOW IT WORKS 1. Scan the wrapper, or search by name 2. See the maker, origin, ingredients, flavor notes, and Chof Score in seconds 3. Rate it, tag the flavors you taste, and save it to your collection USE CHOF WHEN - You're in a shop or supermarket and not sure which bar is worth it - You're choosing between dark, milk, or white - You want to remember a bar you loved, or one to avoid - You want to discover craft makers, cacao origins, and new bars - You're building your own taste in chocolate WHY CHOF - No paid placement and no sponsored bars, ever. - Over 3,000 bars from more than 450 makers across 90 cacao origins. - Maker, origin, cocoa %, ingredients, and a Chof Score on nearly every bar, plus nutrition and awards where available. - Rate bars, tag flavors, add private notes, and build your taste profile. - Explore bars by maker, origin, cocoa %, and type. TWO 70% BARS ARE NEVER THE SAME One is bright and fruity, the next is deep and nutty. One maker tells you exactly where the cacao grew, another tells you almost nothing. Chof shows you the maker, origin, and flavor behind each bar, so you can tell the difference without becoming an expert first. CHOF PREMIUM Premium raises your scan limits and unlocks deeper flavor and ingredient detail and discovery tools. Monthly, yearly, and lifetime plans. Restore purchases anytime. GOOD TO KNOW Chof works best when a bar is already in the catalog, and every new scan helps it grow. BUILT BY A CHOCOLATE EXPERT Made in Amsterdam by Felipe van Beetz, an IICCT Level 2 chocolate and cacao taster and International Chocolate Awards Judge.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Chof at 15.1 against ChocoForm's 26.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
