Palytt pal vs match score

Your Palytt pal summarizes your quiz answers about food habits, flavor and a night out, just for fun. Personal dish matches in the app use your taste profile and dish history when there is enough evidence.

A personal match score (0–100) describes how the available dish information fits your taste. Crowd picks are labeled separately. See how taste matching works.
