LiftStack Beta Is Live

After a longer-than-expected journey, LiftStack Beta is officially live.

First, thank you for your patience. Building LiftStack has taken more time than I originally anticipated, but that time was intentional. From day one, the goal was to create a platform that feels reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely useful for discovering protein products.

LiftStack is currently built by a very small team: just myself and one developer. This is also my first product, and I wanted to make sure the experience felt stable, smooth, and worth your time from the moment you got access.

A big part of that meant building a strong foundation of data.

We’re launching beta with over 175 products (800+ flavor variants) across 110+ brands, all structured so you can actually search, filter, and compare in a meaningful way.

Originally, we planned to rely on third-party APIs for nutritional data. But after testing multiple options, we found that the data was often incomplete, inaccurate, or missing entirely. Because of that, we made the decision to build our own database from scratch.

Every product currently on LiftStack has been manually input. Including nutritional information, ingredients, allergens, product tags, and images.

It was a long process, but it allows us to provide a level of accuracy and structure that we couldn’t get anywhere else.

If you do come across anything that looks incorrect or missing, you can report it directly from the product page using the form under the allergens section. That feedback helps us improve quickly.

LiftStack Ratings Beta

Our rating system is currently in beta.

Right now, ratings are based on our nutrition scoring system, which is one of three pillars that will make up the full LiftStack Rating.

In future updates, we’ll be expanding this to include experience and value, creating a more complete and balanced score.

Because of this, the ratings you see today are subject to change and improvement as we continue refining the system.

What’s coming next

This is just the beginning.

There are features we initially planned for launch that we’ve decided to push to post-beta so we could get LiftStack into your hands sooner. We already have several updates in progress and will be rolling them out in the coming weeks.

We’ll also be continuously expanding the database with new brands, products, and variants every week.

If there’s something you want to see on the platform, you can submit a brand request directly from your profile inside LiftStack.

The goal is simple: build the most complete and useful protein product database on the web.



We’re launching LiftStack Beta alongside our debut on Product Hunt. If you’ve been following the journey, your support there would mean a lot.

More importantly, I’d love your feedback.

This product is being built with its users, and your input will directly shape what comes next.


Thanks again for your patience and support.

LiftStack waitlist is live.

Find Better Protein Snacks with LiftStack

LiftStack’s waitlist is live. We are building a discovery platform that makes finding protein snacks simple and personal. Start with quick onboarding so results match your goals, budget, and dietary needs. Explore a growing brand library and use granular filters such as pricing, macros, allergens, ingredients, flavors, and certifications. See transparent ratings across our three pillar system of nutrition, experience, and value, then compare products side by side to spot tradeoffs fast.

Join the waitlist today to unlock full brand library access on the site, view and vote on the public Roadmap, suggest features, and get priority access to our team. Early beta access is coming soon, and waitlist members will be first in line.

Waitlist entries have concluded. Be sure to stay on the lookout for our beta release.

Why we built this

Picking a protein snack should not feel like trial and error. Labels are hard to compare, paid lists muddy the water, and your goals or allergies often get ignored. We started LiftStack to make choices clear and personal. Our aim is simple. Turn a confusing aisle into confident decisions.

Onboarding personalization

LiftStack begins with a quick setup so results match your reality. Tell us your goals like cutting or bulking, your budget range, and any dietary needs. Call out allergens you avoid, including tree nuts, peanuts, seeds, soy, gluten, or dairy. Share preferences like your diet, protein type and flavor priorities. This profile guides every match so you see products that fit you instead of a generic list.

Explore the library

Browse a growing library of brands and products in one place. Our filters are deep and fast, built for real constraints. Narrow by price and price per serving. Set targets for protein and other macros, sugar, and fiber. Exclude allergens with a single toggle. Include or exclude ingredients or ingredient families. Choose flavor profiles. Filter by certifications like vegan, gluten-free, kosher, or non-GMO. You can also sort to surface what matters first, whether that is nutrition, taste signals, or value. The result is a shortlist that respects your goals, budget, and restrictions.

Transparent ratings

Every product includes an at-a-glance score across three pillars: nutrition, experience, and value. You can see how each pillar is built and why a product scores the way it does, not just the number on the card. We are independent. No sponsorships, no freebies, no pay to play. If you want the full breakdown, our methodology explains the inputs and weighting in plain language.

Side-by-side comparison

When you are choosing between a few finalists, open a clean comparison view. Line up macro breakdowns, ingredient lists, allergen flags, estimated cost per serving, and overall scores. Tradeoffs become obvious in seconds so you can pick with confidence.

What you unlock by joining today

Join the waitlist and you can immediately view the full brand library on the site and access our public Roadmap. You will be able to vote on upcoming features, suggest your own ideas, and get priority access to our team for feedback and early conversations. We will send important updates only, including when early beta opens and what ships next.

Early access timing

Early access to the beta is coming soon. Waitlist members will be first in line. Until then, your site access lets you Explore the library, suggest features and help shape the product through the Roadmap, and priority access to our team.

If you agree with us on how protein snack shopping should feel, join us. Add your email to the waitlist, unlock the full library on the site, and help build a discovery platform that is fast, transparent, and personal.

P.S. No spam. We email only when it matters.
