Which one to pick

Pick MyFitnessPal if you want its diary, partner-app linking, and a mixed database that the company says includes both researched items and member submissions. Expect ads on free, and expect to pay for barcode, photo, and voice.

Pick Lose It! if a one-time Lifetime price matters more than a yearly sub, or if you already like its Basic calorie budget and 50M+ search. Read the barcode transition note if you still scan for free. Snap It and Say It stay Premium and English only.

Pick TrueCal if you want to log by describing the meal. AI logging comes with Pro. Calories stay available on free manual logging afterward. Run the same packaged food, homemade meal, and restaurant order through each app before you choose.
