Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as Fooducate.
MyFitnessPal
A calorie and macro tracking app with a large food database, meal photo scanning and voice logging.

Lose It! logs food by voice, barcode or photo with macro and water tracking, and centres on weight loss rather than food quality grades.

Cronometer
A nutrition tracker that logs food, exercise and biometrics down to individual vitamins and minerals.
Cronometer tracks up to 95 nutrients with lab-analysed data, offering more detailed nutrient analysis than grades, which may be more than casual users need.
Yuka
A mobile app that scans food and cosmetic products and rates their health impact.
Yuka scans food and cosmetics and rates their health impact with no ads, but it is mobile only and does not offer calorie counting.
Also worth comparing
These listings name Fooducate as their own alternative, so the relationship runs both ways.
