More About Fussy Vegan Pro
As Australia’s #1 vegan app, Fussy Vegan Pro is now available in New Zealand through a meaningful partnership with A Guide to Vegan! This isn’t just an app to scan product barcodes and check for vegan options, locate vegan-friendly cafés, or explore a vast library of vegan food, drinks, and beauty products. It’s a mission. Every scan, every search, and every discovery contribute to a world where animals aren’t exploited at the hands of humans.
Unlike typical apps driven by profit, Fussy Vegan Pro was built on the unwavering commitment of longtime vegan Ken Goldstein, who’s poured his heart, life savings, and countless hours into creating this resource. This is not a business built to make millions. It’s a life-saving project, crafted with purpose. Ken even taught himself to code so he could personally develop and maintain the app, keeping costs low and the app accessible to everyone. Ken’s focus isn’t revenue; it’s rescuing animals and empowering the vegan community, working from dawn till late every day to make a real difference.
Together, A Guide to Vegan and Fussy Vegan are bringing this powerful resource to Aotearoa, where we’ll continue expanding NZ content to make Fussy Vegan Pro the most comprehensive vegan guide in the country. We’re here to empower people and change lives - one vegan choice at a time!

Is the app the same on iOS and Android devices?Fussy Vegan Pro is optimised for both iPhone and iPad, so the iOS version includes a few more features than the Android version. Since most users are on iOS, development is prioritised there to make the biggest impact. But if you’re on Android, like me, you’ll still enjoy a great experience with all the core functions! Just keep in mind that iOS may have a few additional features.

Does the app cost?Imagine photographing every product in a supermarket, verifying each ingredient list, and curating a complete list of vegan-friendly restaurants across the country - it's a huge, ongoing task! But Fussy Vegan and A Guide to Vegan take care of it all (and so much more) to make life easier for you. Hundreds of hours go into the app each week to ensure accuracy and quality. To support this effort, the app has a small cost, kept affordable and ad-free to ensure accessibility for as many people as possible. One-time fee: The app costs a one-off fee of $19.99 NZD to download on the Apple App Store or $12.99 NZD via the Google Play Store. Your support keeps the app affordable and packed with the resources to make vegan living easy!
