Simple by design

Three steps to a cleaner household.

You don't need a chemistry degree. You need one app and 10 minutes a week.

01
📷

Scan or search any product

Point your phone at any barcode or type any product name. We check 3 million products from Open Food Facts plus our curated database of 300+ scored products.

02
🧪

Get an ingredient score — and understand why

Every product gets a score from 0 to 100 based on its ingredients alone. Tap any flagged ingredient to see the science: risk level, health effects, and links to real studies.

03
🔄

Swap one product at a time

We show you the cleanest alternative in the same category at a similar price. One swap per week. Add to cart. Your household score improves in real time.

Everything you need

Built for how families actually shop.

What families are saying

Real swaps. Real results.

Over 10,000 households have started scoring their groceries. Here's what they found.

★★★★★

"I scanned our pantry in 20 minutes and found Red 40 in 11 products my kids eat daily. The swap suggestions were practical and most were actually cheaper than what we were buying."

Sarah M.
Mom of 3 · Garden City, NY
★★★★★

"The AI list makeover is worth the Pro price alone. I pasted my Instacart list and it rewrote it with better options in under 30 seconds. My husband didn't notice the difference — kids didn't either."

Jennifer K.
Pro member · Austin, TX
★★★★★

"Finally an app that explains WHY something scores poorly instead of just giving me a grade. The ingredient detail with actual study citations is exactly what I needed to convince my wife."

Our commitment

Scoring is never for sale.

🔬
Ingredient-only scoring
Every product score is calculated exclusively from its ingredient list using a transparent algorithm. Brand relationships, advertising spend, and affiliate status have zero influence on scores.
📚
Real scientific sources
Every ingredient flag links to actual peer-reviewed studies, FDA regulations, and public health agency findings — not influencer opinion or marketing copy.
🔄
Scores update when science does
When new research emerges or a brand reformulates, scores update. If a partner's product gets worse, their score goes down. Full stop.
💰
How we make money
Affiliate commissions when you buy products we already recommend, and Pro subscriptions. No ads. No brand payments. No data selling.

The average American consumes 3–5 pounds of food additives every year. Most of them have never heard of half the ingredients they're eating. We built Smarter Swaps because that information asymmetry is fixable — and no one else was fixing it for the grocery store.
