СРЕЩУ OPEN FOOD FACTS

Forkin срещу Open Food Facts — действителните разлики

Open Food Facts is the open database that makes most of this category possible — Forkin is built on top of it and contributes back. Forkin adds an app-first experience: AR meal scanning, recipes with reviews, meal planning, recall alerts, environmental scoring, voice cook mode, and on-device offline caching — backed by a sustainable EU company so the lights stay on.

  • ХостираноMain database and API on a community-run OVH dedicated server in France (since 2016); the public product-image dataset is mirrored to AWS S3 eu-west-3 (Paris) under the AWS Open Data Sponsorship Program (donated, public data only — no user account data on AWS)

Това, което няма да преструваме

Когато Open Food Facts е по-силен

Да се сравнявате само с вашите собствени предимства е маркетинг, а не честност. Ето какво Open Food Facts прави действително по-добре от Forkin днес — предпочитаме да вземете правилното решение, отколкото да изберете нас по подразбиране.

  • Open data ethos: every product page, every field, the entire database is open under the Open Database License (ODbL) — anyone can audit, fork, or build on it.
  • Non-profit independence: French loi 1901 association, no investors to satisfy, no acquisition risk. The organization is structurally designed to outlast any single app.
  • Scientific contribution: the dataset powers peer-reviewed nutrition research, regulatory work (Nutri-Score), and 200+ third-party apps and websites including Forkin itself.
  • Free forever: there will never be a paywall on the underlying data.
