I would love to use this but it's a bit confusing what this does specifically. Some feedback:

1. Tell me up front does this cost anything? 2. Can you show me some clear examples on what this looks like? A video would be great.

Best of luck with this, you will help a lot of people change their lives for the better. I wish you nothing but success.

Thank you for the feedback! Did you see the interactive module right below the hero blade that shows you how it works with screen shots? Trying to figure out if that was too hidden (in which case we need to pull it up) or if it wasn't the right level of info you were looking for. We should probably be screaming from rooftops on that page that we have a FREE version which I now see is not clear. Thank you again!
Not GP. I personally don’t bother to look further if the homepage doesn’t have a pricing link on the top or on the menu or in the footer, because it seems like the site wants to hide key information from a potential customer.

I couldn’t find a pricing link on your homepage either (using Firefox Focus on iOS).

Super helpful feedback and an easy fix for us to add to the site! Thank you.
I am on mobile and I didn't realize the module is interactive. Maybe you could have an animation there or a video?

Information that it is free would be very useful but please describe in the same sentence how you make money. Otherwise, I will assume you sell my data.

Very interesting product and I am looking forward to using it once you add more local grocery chains.

That's helpful advice! I'll add that info to the site and, to let you know, here's how we make money. (1) We currently charge for "diets". So, if you want to unlock Paleo, it's $2.99 per month. For free everyone gets food scores + risky ingredients flagged + info on why an ingredient was flagged. (2) We have an affiliate relationship with several of the retailers we support so, if you use the extension while shopping, they pay us a referral fee. Where do you grocery shop? Will see if it's a retailer on our roadmap.
