Where fatsecret still wins. You can use it for free, barcode scanner included. It also works in a web browser.
Yes, if you would rather take a photo than search a food list. Snapkin works out the portion. It asks about what it cannot see. It shows how sure it is.
No. fatsecret calls it Smart Food Scan, and it is part of Premium. It names the foods and guesses the portions. You fix wrong items by hand. Its pages do not describe a question about oil or butter. Snapkin asks about them. Every meal says how sure it is.
No. The first 3 days are free, with no card. Then it is €9.99 a month, or €99.99 €49.99 a year. You get Snapkin in the App Store or on Google Play. There is no free version.
Every claim comes from the app's own pages, its store listing or the press.
