How we check prices and facts.

Who writes these pages

The SeeMeEat editorial team writes every Learn, Features and Compare page. Article bylines are pen names. Each article shows the date it was first published, and comparison pages also show the date their product facts were checked.

Compare pages name other apps and quote their published prices. They don't use competitors' logos, screenshots or reviews, and they never invent a feature, price or test result for any app.

Where facts come from

We use the most direct source available, in this order:

1. The company's own pages. For another app, its pricing page, help center or official FAQ. For SeeMeEat, its live App Store and Google Play listings and the released app.
2. The app's store listing. The U.S. App Store or Google Play listing, read on the day of the check.
3. Research and official guidance. For nutrition and health, the published study or its PubMed abstract, government guidance such as the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and USDA FoodData Central.

We don't use reviews, press articles, affiliate sites or forum posts as a source for prices, features or health claims. A number appears on this site only if it comes from a source we read, and that source is listed on the page.

How prices are checked

Prices are for the U.S. storefront in U.S. dollars unless a page says otherwise. A yearly price is the full charge for 12 months. When we divide it by 12, the page says so, because a yearly price divided by 12 isn't a monthly plan anyone sells.

Store listings often show several prices for the same plan without saying who gets each one. When the company or the listing labels an item as the yearly plan, we use it and name the others. When a listing doesn't say whether a purchase lasts a week, a month or a year, we don't assign a billing period. Introductory, promotional and win-back offers aren't treated as standard prices.

Your price can still differ because of taxes, storefront, promotions and your account's history. The price your store shows before you buy is the one that counts.

Dated checks

Every comparison page shows a "Facts checked" date, and every product source in its list carries the day we read it. We recheck competitor facts at least every quarter and before changing any page that cites them. Our yearly price ranking of AI calorie trackers is the page we recheck most often.

Each article also records the date its content last changed, in the page data that search engines read. That date moves only when the article's content changes, and the site's build refuses one that moves without a content change. A facts check that changes nothing moves only the "Facts checked" date.

What we don't publish

We don't publish accuracy percentages for SeeMeEat or testimonials. Health and nutrition pages are estimates and general information, not medical advice, and they suggest talking to a clinician where it matters, such as during pregnancy, with a medical condition or with a history of disordered eating.

How corrections are made

To report an error, email support@seemeeat.app with the page address and the detail you think is wrong. We reread the original source, fix the page if it's wrong and add the correction to the log below.

Corrections log

Each entry names the page, the date it changed and what changed.
