AI Calorie Counter: Snap a Food Photo, Track Calories & Macros

Compare the yearly price, not just the weekly number — multiply any weekly price by 52 before deciding. Check whether the free tier includes any real AI photo scans, and make sure every detected food and portion can be edited before you save it, since photo estimates are a starting point rather than a lab measurement.

It depends on what you value most: a free tier with real AI scans, accurate multi-food detection, or built-in coaching. Foodify covers all three — free daily AI photo scans with multi-food detection and editable results, plus a barcode scanner and the Foodi AI coach — with Pro plans starting around $4.17/month billed yearly.

Yes — several calorie trackers still include free barcode scanning, and Foodify is one of them, pairing a free barcode scanner with free daily AI photo scans for home-cooked meals. Coverage varies by app, so it's worth checking directly in-app before you commit to a paid tier just for scanning. Learn more →

Yes — Foodify does exactly this. Take a photo of your plate and its AI identifies each food, estimates portion sizes and logs calories, protein, carbs and fat in seconds. It detects multiple foods on one plate and lets you adjust any portion before saving. Learn more →

Dedicated AI calorie apps are typically around 85-95% accurate on single, visible foods and 65-80% on complex mixed meals — hidden oils and sauces are the main blind spot. That's imprecise but far better than untracked eating, where people underestimate intake by 30-50%, and Foodify lets you correct any portion in one tap. Learn more →

Yes. Hand-portion estimates and standard containers get you close enough for most goals, and AI photo scanning removes the effort entirely — Foodify estimates portion sizes from a photo of your plate and logs calories and macros automatically. Consistency matters far more than gram-level precision. Learn more →

For chains, look up official nutrition data; for everything else, photo scanning is the practical answer. Snap your plate in Foodify and the AI identifies each dish and estimates portions — no label, no scale, no guessing from a generic database entry. Restaurant portions run larger than home cooking, so review the portion estimate before saving. Learn more →

Either add up every ingredient and divide by servings, or take a photo of your finished plate and let AI estimate it. Foodify's photo scan is built for exactly this case — home-cooked food has no label, and the app identifies the foods, estimates portions and logs macros in seconds, with one-tap editing when a stew hides its ingredients.

Yes — Foodify is free to download with daily limits on AI features, and it reads your activity and energy burn from Apple Health so your calories-in stays compared against your real calories-out. Just check any app's listing carefully, since some free tiers cover search and sync but move features like barcode scanning behind a paid plan. Learn more →

It can guess, but peer-reviewed testing found ChatGPT averages about 27% calorie error and up to 40% error on portion weights from meal photos — and it doesn't log, total or track anything. A dedicated scanner like Foodify grounds photo recognition in portion estimation and a nutrition database, then actually tracks your day. Learn more →

Foodify is free to download and includes a free tier so you can try AI photo scanning and core tracking before deciding. Foodify Pro unlocks extended AI scanning, the Foodi coach and personalized meal plans at $49.99/year (about $4/month), $12.99/month or $5.99/week — with a 3-day free trial on the yearly plan.

You take a photo of your meal; Foodify's AI detects each food on the plate (including multiple dishes at once), estimates portion sizes, and matches them to nutrition data to log calories, protein, carbs and fat. You can edit any food or portion before saving, and a barcode scanner covers packaged products.

Food photos are processed to analyze your meal, and your data belongs to you — you can delete your account and its data from within the app at any time. Foodify also syncs with Apple Health only with your explicit permission. Full details are in our privacy policy.

Subscriptions are handled entirely by Apple: open Settings on your iPhone, tap your name, then Subscriptions, select Foodify and tap Cancel. If you cancel during the 3-day free trial you won't be charged. There are no cancellation fees or retention hoops.
