About Plantee

What is Plantee?

Plantee rewards people for eating plant-based. Members snap their meals in the app, every meal gets checked, and each one that passes earns a small cash reward from a pool anyone can add to.

Is Plantee a charity?

No. Plantee is a company, not a charity or non-profit. Adding to the pool isn't a charitable donation, and it isn't tax-deductible.

Where does Plantee work?

Members are in 34 countries so far. The app is invite only, so people join through a friend's code.

The cause

Why plant-based meals?

Livestock takes about 80% of the world's farmland and gives us 17% of our calories. Every meal that moves to plants frees up land, water and forests, and spares animals.

Why Plantee
Isn't this carbon offsetting?

No. Offsetting pays to cancel out emissions somewhere else while habits stay the same. Plantee pays for the change itself: people choosing plant-based meals. We don't sell carbon credits.

Why pay people rather than just ask them?

Because asking isn't enough. 84% of people who try eating plant-based give it up, most within the first year. A small reward for every meal is a reason to come back tomorrow, until it's just how you eat.

Does one meal make a difference?

On its own, a little: about 1.3 kg of CO₂, plus water and land. Our members have logged hundreds of thousands of them.

Your money

Where does my money go?

85% goes into the incentive pool and pays rewards for verified plant-based meals. 10% covers operations, and 5% is Plantee's platform fee.

Fund rewards
How is Plantee funded?

From that 15%. The operations share and platform fee pay for checking meals, stopping fraud and plant-based education.

Can I get a refund?

Not once it's in the pool, because by then it's paying for meals.

What do I get for funding?

A receipt, and a view of the meals you helped fund and where they were eaten.

Trust and impact

How do you know a meal is real?

Every meal passes three checks before any money moves. The photo is taken live in the app, our meal checker looks at the plate, and payouts get reviewed again. Anything unclear goes to a person.

How it works
How do you work out the impact?

From peer-reviewed food data (Poore & Nemecek, 2018), reduced by a third to stay conservative. Each verified meal counts as about 1.3 kg of CO₂ avoided, 300 litres of water saved and 3.5 m² of land kept wild.

Can I see your method?

Yes. Every rewarded meal is logged, and the full method is in the Plantee Verification Standard.
