Filters Lifetime Free
theBEAT/Membership

Four ways in.

Every dish on the board is ranked by the room. From a free Top 10 to a Founding seat for life — every dietary, religious, and lifestyle filter is free on all of them, and nothing is ever an ad. Monthly plans bill through the App Store; Lifetime is one-time, on the web.

One standard runs through all four: no ads, no paid placement, and every dietary filter free. Plus and Priority unlock when the app opens; the Founding Lifetime is the only seat you can claim today.

theBEAT’s Score reflects verified diners, earned Tastemakers, and members’ monthly Spotlights — never a paid placement. Spotlights are a feature you earn with your membership, the same way unlimited votes or the Concierge are — not a line item any restaurant buys.
