theBEAT™
Filters Lifetime Free
theBEAT/Membership

Four ways in.

Every dietary, religious, and lifestyle filter is free on all four tiers — staying safe never waits on a plan upgrade. Free gives you a live Top 10 nearby; Plus and Priority add range and hosting tools. Every dish is ranked by the room, never bought. Monthly plans bill through the App Store; the Founding Lifetime is a one-time purchase, on the web.

Every dietary filter here is free, forever, on every restaurant — on every tier, including Free. Safety is never the thing you pay to unlock. Nobody pays us to be listed, and nothing is ranked because it paid.

A green dietary claim means the venue’s own published words or a certifying body — never a community directory, never an aggregator. That is enforced, not promised: 202 green claims today — 163 from the venue’s own material, 39 from a certifier, 0 from a directory, 0 from an aggregator, re-counted automatically before every release. Anything we don’t hold that for is marked amber, with the question to ask the kitchen. See how that works.

“Our kitchens are free of gluten, peanuts, tree nuts, and soy, making it easier to accommodate a variety of dietary needs.”
Chaia · the venue’s own FAQ, “Can you accommodate food allergies?” · read 27 Aug 2026 — one green claim, as it appears in the app. Always confirm with the restaurant.

What you pay for is the verdict — ranked dish by dish, for everyone at your table — not access to the safety information.
