The MPI Directory provides 24/7 access to information on regulated establishments that produce meat, poultry, and/or egg products as regulated by USDA’s FSIS. The USDA MPI Directory app allows customers to ‘look up’ or search establishments by location or zip code, type of inspection, establishment name or number and type of establishment. Customers can look up the information on a mobile device, when it’s needed from any place, anywhere, at any time! Want to know where your food was produced or what an establishment produces? Just search by establishment name/number location/zip or type of establishment/inspection type.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bigzy at 100% against USDA MPI Directory's 18%. Bigzy also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 12 months). USDA MPI Directory's advantage is ratings volume (33 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
