What a hop is

Three kinds of hop. Or just BUY.

HOPPD compares the product in your hand with the others of its kind on the same shelf, per 100 g. When nothing beats it, the answer is BUY.

01 Hop

Cheaper and healthier

The best hop: less per 100 g, and clearly healthier.

Shown first whenever the shelf has one.

02 Hop

Healthier

Clearly healthier, for at most about 20% more per 100 g.

HOPPD always shows what the extra costs you.

03 Hop

Cheaper

At least 10% cheaper per 100 g, and about as healthy.

Laundry is compared per wash and hand wash per 100 mL, on price alone.

The simple version

From the shelf to an answer in three steps.

  1. 1

    Scan the barcode

    Point the camera at the pack. For loose items without a barcode, like treats sold by weight, search by name.

  2. 2

    Read the answer

    BUY, or HOP with up to three better picks. Each shows its price per 100 g, a health score, and why.

  3. 3

    Fill the gaps

    When a label’s facts are missing, HOPPD asks for a photo of the pack, reads it within minutes, and scores the product. It never guesses.

Honest by design

No guessed scores. Ever.

HOPPD scores food with the official Health Star Rating, and dog treats with a written rulebook: calories, fat, named meat first, additives. When a label’s facts are missing, it says so and asks for a photo.

Not sure yet

HOPPD needs the pack’s analysis to judge this one. A label photo fills it in.

Every price is dated

HOPPD uses shelf prices, specials included, and shows how old each one is.

No retailer agenda

HOPPD is independent of Coles, Woolworths and every other supermarket.

No account or ad profile

No sign-up and no ads. Your list and your pets stay on your iPhone.

No substitute for the label

Prices and product details change. Always check the shelf and package before buying.

Launch plan

Starting focused. Growing when the facts are ready.

HOPPD starts with these aisles: dog treats, yoghurt, frozen fish, laundry, hand wash, pantry staples (noodles, rice, pasta and Asian sauces), eggs and dairy (milk, grated cheese and fetta) and fresh chicken. More follow, aisle by aisle, as their prices and facts are ready.

Where it works

Coles and Woolworths, in Sydney first

Coles
Woolworths

HOPPD starts with Coles and Woolworths in Sydney. More stores follow once HOPPD can read their prices reliably.

The logos are shown only to say where HOPPD's prices come from. HOPPD is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Coles or Woolworths.

Free + optional paid

A useful free version is planned.

Scanning and hops should be useful without paying. An optional paid tier may come later.

  • Paid tier, maybeExtra features, still being worked out.
  • No invented priceNo price is set yet. It will be decided before launch.

Straight answers

Good questions. Plain answers.

Can I download HOPPD now?

Not from the App Store yet. Shoppers in Sydney are testing HOPPD on iPhone through Apple's TestFlight, and if someone sent you an invite, joining takes about two minutes. The App Store comes once HOPPD has earned it.

Will HOPPD be free?

Yes. HOPPD is free, and scanning, BUY and HOP, health scores and helping other shoppers stay free. An optional paid tier with extra features may come later.

Which shops and products does HOPPD cover?

It starts at Coles and Woolworths in Sydney, in these aisles: dog treats, yoghurt, frozen fish, laundry, hand wash, pantry staples (noodles, rice, pasta and Asian sauces), eggs and dairy (milk, grated cheese and fetta) and fresh chicken. More aisles and stores follow as their prices and facts are ready.

Why does HOPPD sometimes say “Not sure yet”?

Because it will not guess. If the facts HOPPD needs from a label are missing, it tells you what is missing instead of making up a score.

Why does HOPPD ask for label photos?

Many packs’ facts are not published anywhere online. A photo of the back of the pack lets HOPPD read them, usually within minutes, and the product gets its score. You choose when to send one.

Does HOPPD give medical or nutrition advice?

No. HOPPD is general shopping help. Check the package and the shelf, and talk to a professional when you need personal health or nutrition advice.

Where do the prices come from?

From the prices Coles and Woolworths publish on their websites, each shown with the store and when it was seen. Shoppers can also check a shelf price with a photo of the tag. Both supermarkets have told the ACCC that comparison apps may read their online prices.

Is HOPPD part of Coles or Woolworths?

No. HOPPD is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Coles, Woolworths or any other supermarket. Their names and trademarks belong to their owners.
