Vegan product scanning apps

These apps help consumers verify whether packaged goods are vegan by scanning labels or ingredient lists, covering categories such as food, cosmetics, household items, and clothing. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from—it predates the index or its members are undated. Traction leaders based on activity signals are veguide, vegsnap, and VitaVegan, all currently at zero stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
