Independent comparison
A transparent alternative to Yuka
Scanly is an independent product-scanner beta being built for people who want the evidence behind a result—not just a red or green number. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a replacement published by Yuka.
Research checked September 7, 2026. This page provides general information and does not offer medical or dietary advice.
What will be different?
- Nutrition, processing, additives and data completeness shown separately.
- Every material warning linked to a named public source and review date.
- Unknown concentration and missing label data shown as unknown—not silently treated as safe.
- No advertising, sponsored rankings or brand-paid scores.
What is available now?
The public site explains the method and is collecting a private-beta list. Barcode scanning and the product database are not live yet. Joining the beta does not create an app account or begin a paid subscription.
How the comparison should be read
Yuka currently scans food and cosmetic products, explains its ratings, recommends alternatives and offers paid search, offline access, preferences and longer history. Scanly should be judged only on features that are actually released, not on the intended roadmap.
Questions, answered
Is Scanly owned by Yuka?
No. Scanly is an independent beta and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or published by Yuka or Yuca SAS.
Is Scanly available to download?
Not yet. The current site is a research-backed preview and beta waitlist. It does not link to an App Store or Google Play download.
Will Scanly copy Yuka scores?
No. The proposed method separates nutrition, processing and ingredient evidence and will publish its own versioned rules.
