VS OPEN FOOD FACTS

Forkin против Open Food Facts — реальные различия

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.

Что мы не станем отрицать

Где Open Food Facts сильнее

Сравнивать себя только по собственным преимуществам — это маркетинг, а не честность. Вот что Open Food Facts действительно делает лучше Forkin сегодня — мы предпочитаем, чтобы вы сделали правильный выбор, а не выбрали нас по умолчанию.

  • 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.
