Score breakdown and evidenceEvery point, with the quote behind it
Kate Farms leads with authority most nutrition brands cannot claim ("The #1 doctor & pediatrician recommended plant-based brand*") and a clear three-lane menu (Everyday Adult, Everyday Kids, Medical Nutrition). The homepage has three H1s and no visible review count on either page, which leaves the proof to the asterisk.

Kate Farms vs. the best
Out of 10 lanes, Kate Farms covers 4. The comparison: 57 Health & Wellness storefronts and the 20 top-scoring brands on The Board. The gaps are listed biggest first.
Heads up: our scan found only 3 apps on Kate Farms’s storefront. Custom builds hide more from public code, so treat each gap below as a question to check with the team.
Referrals, loyalty and affiliates
Unlock50% of the top-scoring brands run a referral, loyalty or affiliate app. Our scan didn’t find one on Kate Farms’s storefront. Other people’s audiences are a channel, and the top brands pay for it.
Popups and list growth
Unlock45% of the top-scoring brands run a popup or list growth tool. Our scan didn’t find one on Kate Farms’s storefront. Most first visits end without an order. A list catches the ones who come back.
CRO and testing

Adoption is the share of storefronts where our Oct 9, 2026 scan found at least one app in the lane. Apps that live only in checkout or the back office can hide from a scan, so “not spotted” doesn’t mean missing. App names show what other brands run. They aren’t endorsements. A few links to software partners are referral links, and we may earn a commission if you sign up, at no cost to you. Money never changes a score.
