Frequently asked
Is VeggieOS really free?
Yes. Scanning, meal planning, recipe conversion and impact tracking are all free forever. We may add optional pro features later, but the core stays open.
Do I need to be fully vegan?
No. Most of our users are flexitarians or curious omnivores. VeggieOS works for any level of plant-based eating.
Where does your ingredient data come from?
A combination of public databases, manufacturer disclosures and AI-assisted ingredient analysis, reviewed against an internal vegan rule set.
How do you handle my data?
Scans, plans and pantry data are stored under your account and never sold. You can export or delete everything at any time.
