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

The best Beli alternative depends on what you want. Palytt tells you what to order at a restaurant. 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. Google Maps lists are free and need no new app.

We make Palytt, so it's first on this list. Every other description comes from that app's own App Store listing, linked below so you can check.

Tracking where you ate is one job. Knowing what to order is another.

Beli alternatives compared

  1. 1. Palytt

    Best for: Knowing what to order

    Ranks the dishes at a restaurant for your taste with a 0–100 match score, shows your friends' verdicts on each dish, and sorts the menu into get this, add on, popular here and maybe skip. Rooms let a group vote on where to eat.

    How it differs from Beli: Dish-level instead of restaurant-level. No restaurant ranking.

  2. 2. Truffle

    Best for: A low-pressure restaurant journal

    A social restaurant tracker you can also use privately. It skips ranking on purpose, doesn't push you to post photos or reviews, and puts your and your friends' restaurants on one map.

    How it differs from Beli: No forced ranking, lighter logging.

    Truffle on the App Store

  3. 3. Mapstr

    Best for: Organizing saved places on a map

    Save any place in one tap, tag and color-code it, import Google Maps lists, and follow recommendations from friends and creators. Shared maps open in a browser without the app.

    How it differs from Beli: Places of every kind, not only restaurants. Organizing rather than rating.

Why people look for a Beli alternative

Beli is the most popular app in this space, and for good reason: ranked lists, maps and a lively 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.
