Premium voice logging turns a spoken sentence into a diary entry, and free accounts can type a description for the AI to log, twice a day.
A plan sized to your numbers
The meal planner builds recipes to your calorie and macro targets, with swaps, batch prep and a shopping list, instead of browsing a library.
Ask the coach
Pepperly answers questions about your logged week, with 10 messages a day on the free plan.

The verdict

Choose Yazio if you want fasting timers, a large recipe library and barcode scanning together. Choose CalorTracker if you would rather log by photo, voice or text and have a planner and coach built around your targets.

Frequently asked questions

Which Yazio features need Pro?

Its home page, the page we checked, does not say which features need a paid plan or what they cost. Check Yazio's own pricing in the app before deciding.

Does Yazio have AI photo tracking?

Yes. Its home page says you can get calorie and nutrition info with AI photo tracking, or track manually or by barcode.

Does CalorTracker have fasting timers?

No. If fasting timers matter to you, Yazio lists them and CalorTracker does not.

Does CalorTracker have a barcode scanner?

No. Photograph the meal, or the nutrition label on the packet, and the AI reads it for you, or enter the numbers yourself.

Make the switch in minutes

Start free, snap your first meal, and see whether photo logging beats searching a database for you.
