Beli alternatives: seven apps for tracking food and knowing what to order

The best Beli alternative depends on what you want. Palytt helps you compare restaurant dishes when enough dish and taste information is available. Truffle is a restaurant journal without forced ranking. Mapstr organizes saved places on a map. Savor rates individual dishes. Morel keeps shared lists with friends. Phissy remembers what everyone ordered. Google Maps lists are free and work in a browser.

We make Palytt, so it's first on this list. The roundup follows the linked App Store listings, Mapstr FAQ and Google Maps help. We reviewed Mapstr, Truffle and Savor’s listing screenshots on October 10, 2026; we have not tested their apps or data transfers. Our separate Google Maps and Palytt browser check is described below.

Beli alternatives compared

  1. 1. Palytt

    Best for: Knowing what to order

    Ranks dishes in an Order Guide for your taste, shows a 0–100 match score when there's enough evidence, and includes friends' dish verdicts when available. You rate individual dishes 1–5 and can mark a dish to order again or skip next time. Saved places can come in from a CSV spreadsheet (such as a Beli export), a Google Maps saved-list export, or Share → Save to Palytt from Maps, Yelp, TikTok or Instagram. Rooms let a group vote on where to eat.

Importing from Beli and Google Maps

Palytt's iPhone and iPad app can import saved restaurants from a CSV spreadsheet with a name column, which works for a Beli export, and from a Google Maps saved-list export (Google Takeout CSV or Saved Places.json). You can also tap Share → Save to Palytt on a place or food video in Maps, Yelp, TikTok or Instagram. You review the places before they're saved to Want to try. Import saves places only; it does not bring over Beli rankings, ratings or visit history.

In the app, open Saved, tap + and choose Save from other apps. For keeping track of dishes after a meal, see our guide to remembering what you ordered.

What we checked in a browser

In our October 10, 2026 signed-in browser test, Google Maps kept a place with a private note after reload and in a Saved-only export. The dish, test verdict and test date stayed free text inside the note.

Palytt's tested web flow kept a saved dish with its restaurant after reload and in an offline reference. We did not add a meal verdict in that flow or test importing either file. Read the one-record save-and-export comparison before choosing how to keep your history.

Why people look for a Beli alternative

Beli offers ranked lists, maps and a friend feed. The reasons people look elsewhere tend to be specific. Some don't want to rank every meal against another. Some want to track dishes, not restaurants. Some just want help at the menu.

If the menu is your problem, start with how Palytt tells you what to order, or read the direct comparison, Palytt vs Beli.
