About this app

Eating better doesn't have to cost more. Nucona pays you real cash for the healthy choices you already make, at the grocery store, at restaurants, and online.

Join a growing community of people eating smarter, together!

SCAN
Scan barcodes or menus to see which items are the healthiest and earn a reward for each scan (daily limits apply). Additionally, scan receipts to earn points and rewards on any food purchase.

EARN
Every healthy item on a food receipt that you upload earns you points using the Healthy Eating Index, and every scan earns you a cash reward (daily limits apply). Your total score each calorie cycle determines your jackpot; the better your overall diet pattern, the more you can potentially earn. Real cash. No gimmicks.

DISCOVER
Browse Nucona-approved grocery bundles curated by real community members with the eating habits you're working toward. Subscribe to the bundles that match your goals and shop them with a tap. Add bundle items to your cart instantly, or use the free Nucona Chrome Extension while shopping at your favorite online grocery stores on your desktop.

WIN
Close your calorie cycle and spin the Nucona Wheel of Fortune for a chance to win cash rewards based on the points you've earned. The better your score, the bigger your reward. Every cycle is a new chance to win.

CREATE
If your grocery habits are already guiding the people around you, Nucona pays you for it. Build your own healthy bundle, share it with people working toward the same goals, and earn when people subscribe to them. Turn what you already know about eating well into a real, ongoing revenue stream.

FREE TO START. $4.99/MONTH TO KEEP GOING.

Nucona is free to download and explore. For $4.99/month, unlock full progress tracking, i.e. follow your Healthy Eating Index score over time, monitor your reward cycles, and see exactly how your food choices are improving with every shopping trip. That's just a dollar a week to turn your grocery habits into lasting, rewarded change.

WHY NUCONA?

With food prices rising, eating healthy can feel out of reach. Nucona is built for real people making real decisions at real grocery stores. We don't ask you to log every bite or follow a rigid plan. We reward you for shopping and eating the way that works for you, and for getting a little better each time.

Every feature on Nucona, from the bundles you browse to the score you build, is grounded in the science of the Healthy Eating Index. Not fads. Not guesswork. Just a smarter, more rewarding way to eat.

Download Nucona today.
Discover. Shop. Earn. Eat Better Together.

The rewards are sponsored by a national nonprofit whose goal is to improve health in America, Nucona.org, and are capped at $200 per year. The app is free for grocery tips and receipt analysis but requires a $4.99 monthly subscription for saving purchase history, earning points, and spinning the Wheel of Fortune for cash prizes. The subscription funds the sponsoring nonprofit's operations and can be cancelled at any time.

Note: All receipts must be recent, belong to purchases made by you, and cannot be used multiple times. Additional restrictions on usage may apply.

I really struggle with making healthy food choices. I have tried to use other health apps to help me, but they feel like a tedious chore as I have to manually log in so much information. This app is different though and simplifies making healthy choices. I can simply scan a barcode on a food item or scan my receipt, and the app will let me know of better choices. It is not only easy to use this app, but also rewarding. If you are striving to lead a healthier path like me, I highly recommend it!

I have been trying out Nucona,and overall it’s been a really positive experience. The app is easy to figure out, and I like how simple the layout is. Nothing feels cluttered. The barcode scanning is quick,and I found the breakdown of my grocery habits surprisingly helpful since it pointed out things I don’t usually pay attention to. It still feels like an early version in some ways, but the idea is great, and I like everything about it.
