Yuka vs Fig: Scores Versus Verdicts

Yuka is the most downloaded food scanner by a wide margin, and it is genuinely good at what it does. It just does not do the thing people on a restricted diet need, and the difference is worth being precise about.

Where we lose

Yuka is free, fast, and has an enormous user base for good reason. If you want a general sense of whether a product is a reasonable thing to eat, it answers that better than we will. It cannot tell you whether a bar fits inside 20 g of net carbs, because it does not know that you are keeping to 20 g. That is not a flaw in Yuka; it is a different product.

Common questions

Is Yuka good for keto?
Not directly. Its score reflects general nutritional quality and additives, not your carbohydrate limit — a high-scoring product can be entirely wrong for keto.
Is Yuka accurate?
Its scoring method is published and consistently applied. Whether you agree with the weighting is a separate question from accuracy.
What do I use for a numeric diet rule?
Today, a tracking app plus reading labels. That combination is what this site is testing whether to replace.
