ScelgoBene
Compare. Assess. Choose. ScelgoBene helps you compare two food products while you shop and accompanies the guide “Cosa metto nel carrello?”.
Easy to use
No installation, no setup, no personal data visible to others. One click and you can start your Shopping right away.
How it works
- Scan the barcodes of the two products you want to buy, or enter them by hand.
- Ingredients and nutrition facts come automatically from Open Food Facts: no need to type them.
- Add price and serving: the calculations update immediately.
- Browse the five information sections and save the comparisons you repeat often.
ScelgoBene compares two similar products and shows you the differences that matter: real price per kilo and per portion, composition, yield in the kitchen and much more useful information. You can make your own assessment based on your family's nutritional needs, adjusting the settings as needed.
ScelgoBene gives no absolute verdict and promises no savings: it gives you the data to choose according to your priorities.
What else you can do
- assess a single product too: information and calculator also work with just one barcode;
Your Privacy is safe
No sign-up. A cookie with a random code links the current comparison and the saved ones to this device; other cookies remember the chosen theme and language.
ScelgoBene is in a trial phase: to improve it we record usage statistics for internal use (pages visited, products searched, prices entered, IP address and the approximate location derived from it, device type and browser). The information is stored anonymously and is used only to test the project's features, track down bugs and improve performance. It is not shared with anyone and is deleted after 12 months.
