Starting price.

The short version.

Leafe is probably the closest competitor in shape: UK-built and mobile-first, like Lemon. The difference is scope. Leafe bundles HACCP record-keeping with rota scheduling, training certificates, inventory and complaint investigation, so it suits operators who want one app covering several adjacent jobs. Lemon keeps to food safety, with its records and staff food safety training in one price, lower than Leafe's starting price, and a 14-day trial that needs no card and includes the training.

Choose Leafe if you want the broader bundle; choose Lemon if you want a focused food safety tool.

Common
questions.

Something else on your mind?support@getlemon.app

What is the difference between Lemon and Leafe?

Scope. Both are UK-built, mobile-first apps, but Leafe bundles food safety with rotas, training certificates, inventory and complaint handling, while Lemon focuses only on food safety. If you want one app for several jobs, Leafe's breadth helps; if you want a focused food safety tool, Lemon is simpler and cheaper.

Is Lemon cheaper than Leafe?

Yes. Lemon is £19 per month per location with unlimited users included, against Leafe from £28 per month per venue. The gap reflects scope: Leafe does more than food safety.

Does Lemon do rotas or inventory?

No, and that is deliberate. Lemon is a focused food safety tool, not a kitchen-operations suite. If rotas and inventory in the same app matter to you, Leafe covers them; if you would rather a tight food safety app, Lemon stays out of your way.

How long are the free trials?

Lemon offers a 14-day trial with no card required. Leafe offers a 7-day trial. The longer no-card trial gives you more time to run Lemon through a real working week before deciding.
