Get an estimated grade and nutrition breakdown, then save the meal to your daily log.
Shelf
While you shop
Compare the packaged foods GradePlate identifies in a shelf photo, with reasons behind the suggested choice.
No name or email needed to start. Photos you choose to analyze are sent to a Google AI service; analysis needs an internet connection.

Informational, not medical advice
GradePlate's grades and verdicts are informational only. They are not medical, dietary, or nutritional advice, and they are not a substitute for a qualified healthcare provider. Always consult a professional before making changes to your diet or health regimen.
A photo cannot establish food safety or rule out an allergen. Verify ingredients, preparation, and cross-contact risks directly with the restaurant or manufacturer.
Anonymous by default
GradePlate works without a name, email, or phone number. Optional Apple, Google, or email sign-in can help you keep a stable account and restore Premium access.
A random anonymous identifier is created for basic use. Your selected image goes to a Google AI service for analysis. Health-profile processing and optional analytics are choices you control in Data & Privacy.
Before your first scan
A few useful things to know.
How accurate are the grades?
They are AI estimates based on visible food, available nutrition information, and the context you provide. Portions, preparation, and hidden ingredients can change the result. Use the explanation as context, and check labels or ask the restaurant when accuracy matters.
Do I have to complete a health profile?
No. A complete health profile is optional. You can choose whether relevant goals, dietary preferences, and health information may be used in analysis through Data & Privacy.
Does the app work offline?
New AI analyses need an internet connection. Your recent analyses, meal logs, and profile are normally stored locally on your device.
What is free, and what does Premium add?
The app includes a limited number of free analyses. Premium unlocks unlimited analyses. Current prices, renewal terms, and any trial eligibility are shown in the app and your store before purchase.
Which languages can I use on iPhone?
The iPhone app supports twenty languages, including Arabic, English, French, German, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese. Its 1.0.1 update improves localization and right-to-left layouts.
