Palytt vs Beli: restaurant rankings or what to order?

Beli and Palytt answer different questions. Beli keeps ranked lists and maps of every restaurant you've been to and shows where friends are eating. Palytt, a free iPhone app, tells you which dish to order once you're there, using a 0–100 match score for your taste and your friends' verdicts on each dish.

Beli is about the place. Palytt is about the plate. If you already love Beli for tracking restaurants, Palytt is the menu companion, not a replacement.

What does Palytt do differently?

  • It starts at the menu. Palytt ranks the dishes inside a restaurant, not the restaurant itself. See how Palytt tells you what to order.
  • No ranking homework. Rate a dish or tap “I'd order this again”. There's no restaurant-against-restaurant comparison.
  • Honest scores. A match score only appears when it's built from your taste; otherwise the guide says it's showing popularity.
  • Group decisions. Rooms let a group vote on where to eat. See deciding where to eat with friends.
