Best AI Calorie Tracker App in 2026: 7 Apps Compared Feature by Feature

How we compared them

We compared seven calorie trackers that log meals with AI: SeeMeEat, Cal AI, MyFitnessPal, Lose It!, Cronometer, MacroFactor and SnapCalorie. Every fact about another app comes from its own website, help center or U.S. App Store and Google Play listings, read on November 9, 2026. Cal AI publishes no price list, so its prices come from its in-app paywall.

A feature counts only when the company says it has it. "Paid" means the company lists it in its paid plan, and "not stated" means we couldn't find the company saying either way. Our editorial standards explain how prices and features are checked and corrected.

Which AI calorie tracker has which features?

How do the seven apps rank?

We ranked the apps by what you get for the yearly price: how many ways to log are included, whether the AI logging is rationed, and whether the subscription follows you between phones.

1. SeeMeEat: everything included for $9.99 a year

SeeMeEat Pro costs $9.99 a year or $1.99 a month in the U.S. and includes unlimited photo scans and unlimited meal descriptions, typed or spoken. Barcodes, nutrition labels, a search of about 4.1 million foods, Meal Memory and AutoLog are in the same plan.

Every estimate shows the foods it found, calories, macros, a likely range and the assumption most worth checking, and you can correct it in words, such as "only half the rice", before it's logged. Pro follows your account between iPhone and Android, and SeeMeEat imports history from MyFitnessPal, Lose It!, Cronometer and MacroFactor.

2. Cal AI: $29.99 a year, price shown only in the app

Cal AI costs $29.99 a year or $9.99 a month, the plans on its paywall on November 9, 2026, and publishes neither price on its website. Its FAQ says a subscription is tied to the platform you bought it on and that it can't import MyFitnessPal history yet. Cal AI compared with SeeMeEat.

3. Cronometer: photo logging costs $59.99 a year

Cronometer Basic is free, but Photo Log and Voice Log are Gold features, and Gold costs $59.99 a year or $10.99 a month. Cronometer compared with SeeMeEat.

4. MacroFactor: $71.99 a year, no free version

MacroFactor logs from photos, descriptions, speech, barcodes and labels, but it costs $71.99 a year or $11.99 a month, and its website says there will never be a free version. MacroFactor compared with SeeMeEat.

5. Lose It!: barcode, photo and voice logging cost $79.99 a year

Lose It! Basic is free and contains ads. Its Premium plan, $79.99 a year, is where photo logging, voice logging and the barcode scanner live. Lose It! compared with SeeMeEat.

6. MyFitnessPal: barcode and Meal Scan cost $79.99 a year

MyFitnessPal's free account leaves out the barcode scanner, Meal Scan and voice logging. Premium costs $79.99 a year or $19.99 a month, and Premium+ costs $99.99 a year. MyFitnessPal compared with SeeMeEat.

7. SnapCalorie: $149 a year, rationed free logs

SnapCalorie's free plan allows one to three AI logs a day, depending on which of its pages you read. Premium costs $149.00 a year or $19.99 a month, the most expensive plan here. SnapCalorie compared with SeeMeEat.

Which app is best for logging meals from a photo?

SeeMeEat, because SeeMeEat Pro includes unlimited photo scans for $9.99 a year and every estimate stays editable until you log it. MyFitnessPal, Lose It! and Cronometer put photo logging in plans that cost $59.99 to $79.99 a year, and SnapCalorie limits free photo logs by the day.

A photo can only show what's visible, so SeeMeEat lets you add a note with the photo, such as the oil in the pan or the dressing on the side, and correct the estimate in words afterward.

Which app lets you describe a meal in words?

SeeMeEat Pro includes unlimited meal descriptions: type or say "two eggs, toast with butter and a coffee with milk", check the draft, and log it. That helps with home-cooked meals, leftovers and anything you ate before you thought to take a photo. Cal AI, Cronometer and MacroFactor also let you describe a meal, at three, six and seven times SeeMeEat's yearly price, and Cronometer keeps it in Gold.

Which app is best for weight loss?

The best app for weight loss is one you'll keep using, at a price you won't cancel. SeeMeEat's optional goal planner works out a daily target from your sex, height, weight, age and activity with the Mifflin–St Jeor equation, and shows that math before you apply anything. You can also set your own numbers.

SeeMeEat never changes your target on its own, and reminders come only at the times you choose. If you're pregnant, have a medical condition or a history of disordered eating, talk to a clinician before setting a calorie target.

Which apps work on both iPhone and Android?

All seven apps have iPhone and Android apps. What happens to your subscription when you change phones differs. SeeMeEat Pro belongs to your account, so it's already active when you sign in on the other phone. Cal AI's FAQ says its subscriptions are tied to the platform where you bought them, and Lose It! says Premium carries to both phones only when you buy it on its website.
