Yuka gives every product a single 0–100 score, calculated the same way for every person who scans it. HealthLens scores the same product against your allergies, conditions and preferences — so the answer changes when the person does.
Free to start · 10 scans a month · iPhone, iOS 15+
A published formula weights every product the same way for everyone who scans it:
Useful for a general read on product quality. It does not know what you personally cannot eat or put on your skin.
You set a profile once, then every scan is judged against it:
Celiac, lactose intolerance, nut allergies, pregnancy, diabetes, high blood pressure, dry eye and MGD, sensitive skin, organic-only, and more.

Comparison based on each app’s publicly documented behaviour as of August 2026. Yuka is a trademark of its respective owner and is not affiliated with HealthLens. If something here is out of date, tell us at support@healthlens.io and we will correct it.
We would rather you use the right tool than the one we made. Stay with Yuka if you are on Android, if you want a large barcode database for general grocery browsing, or if you have no specific conditions and just want a quick quality read on a product.
Switch to HealthLens if a universal score keeps failing to answer your actual question — whether this product is safe for you.
If you want one universal quality score per product, Yuka does that well. If your question is whether a product is right for your body specifically — your allergies, your conditions, your restrictions — that is what HealthLens is built for. The same yogurt can score well for one person and badly for another, and HealthLens is designed around that difference.
Yuka gives every product one score, calculated the same way for everyone: 60% nutritional quality, 30% additives, 10% organic. HealthLens scores the same product against the health profile you set up, so two people scanning the same item can get two different answers.
Food, drinks, cosmetics and supplements. You point the camera at the label rather than hunting for a barcode, so it works on products that are not in a barcode database.
Yes, free to start. The free tier includes 10 scans a month, your full health profile, and your personalized score. Pro is $4.99/month or $29.99/year and adds unlimited scans, history, saved products, family profiles, and side-by-side compare.
Not yet. HealthLens is currently iPhone only, on iOS 15 and later. Yuka is available on both platforms, so if you are on Android today, HealthLens is not yet an option for you.
