How it works

Snap a receipt. See everything.

Behind a single photo sits a stack of best-in-class data sources, processed in seconds. No barcode scanning, no manual entry, no logging in to your supermarket account.

  1. Capture the receipt

    Snap a photo of any paper receipt right after shopping — or upload a PDF e-receipt from your inbox. Works with every European supermarket format we've tested.

    CAMERA + OCR
  2. Identify every product

    Cryptic receipt text like "AH BIO MELK 1L" gets resolved to canonical products with full metadata — brand, category, GTIN, weight. Microblink's catalogue of 15M+ products handles even the obscure abbreviations.

  3. Enrich with nutrition & eco data

    Each product is matched against Open Food Facts to retrieve Nutri-Score, additive count, ingredients, and Eco-Score across 16 environmental indicators. Open methodology, independently maintained.

    OPEN FOOD FACTS + ECO-SCORE
  4. Calculate your composite score

    The GreenBee Score weights price fairness (33%), nutrition (34%), and environment (33%) into a single A–E grade — per item, per basket. Your regional context determines the price baseline.

  5. Get concrete swap suggestions

    Not vague advice — specific alternatives with the price you'd pay, the score improvement, and where to buy them. Three swap categories: Save Money, Eat Better, Help the Planet.

The GreenBee Score

One letter. Everything you need.

Yuka proved that consumers love a single, glanceable letter grade. GreenBee extends that simplicity across three dimensions consumers actually care about — without forcing them to interpret three separate scores.

33%

Price fairness

How the price you paid compares to the regional median for the same product across retailers in your area.

34%

Nutrition

Nutri-Score plus additive count, derived from Open Food Facts and updated continuously as the database grows.

33%

Environment

Eco-Score factoring carbon footprint, packaging impact, sourcing, and transport across 16 indicators.

Features

Built for the way you actually shop.

Four screens. The complete loop from snap to smarter next purchase.

Nobody else does all three.

Yuka leads on nutrition. Open Food Facts owns the data. Receipt apps handle price. GreenBee is the first to put price, nutrition, and environment in one place — built around the moment of purchase.

Common questions

Everything you might wonder.

When does GreenBee launch?

We're targeting a public launch in the Netherlands and Belgium in 2026, followed by Germany, France, and Austria. Early access members get the app first.

Is GreenBee really free?

Yes — scanning, scoring, and core swap suggestions stay free forever. Trust is the product. We may offer optional Premium features (family sharing, meal-plan optimiser, advanced analytics) later, but the core app will always be free.

How is the GreenBee Score calculated?

It's a weighted composite: 33% price fairness, 34% nutrition (based on Nutri-Score and additive count from Open Food Facts), and 33% environment (based on Eco-Score's 16 indicators). The methodology is published openly and the score is never influenced by commercial relationships.

What about my privacy?

GDPR-compliant from day one. Receipts are processed with your explicit consent and stored encrypted. No personal identifiers required for the core scanning function. You own your data and can delete it any time.

Which retailers are supported?

At launch: every major Benelux retailer including Albert Heijn, Jumbo, Plus, Lidl, Aldi, Dirk, Coop, Delhaize, Carrefour, and Colruyt. Our receipt OCR works with paper receipts and PDF e-receipts. We're adding new retailers continuously.

How is this different from Yuka?

Yuka is excellent at scanning individual products for nutrition info. GreenBee scans entire receipts and adds two dimensions Yuka doesn't cover: price fairness and environmental impact. We also work after the shop, so you get insight into what you actually bought.

Are you hiring or looking for investors?

Yes to both. We're a small team building something we believe matters. Reach out to hello@greenbee.app if you'd like to talk.

Be among the first to know.

Optional, but helpful — drop your email and we'll let you in before the public launch in 2026.
