One meal, two apps

The same meal, logged in both apps.

Foodvisor

The photo scan needs Premium
  1. The photo scan needs Premium, the paid plan.
  2. Take a photo. It names the foods and guesses the amounts.
  3. Check every food and amount. Fix them by hand.
  4. Its pages do not describe a question about oil, butter or sauce.

What about the fat? French hospital doctors tested Foodvisor's photos on 30 weighed meals. It missed almost a third of the fat. That test was in 2019 and 2020, so the app has changed since.

Snapkin

1 photo
Snapkin asks a question about the meal, with one button for each answer. The logged meal in Snapkin, with every item in grams and kcal.
  1. Take a photo of your meal.
  2. If it asks a question, tap one answer.
  3. Done. Every item is there, with grams and kcal.

Packaged food? No barcode scanner needed. Take a photo of the label. Snapkin reads the numbers on the packet and remembers the product.

Why people switch

One photo instead of a search per food

  • One photo, not a search for every food on the plate.
  • It asks about the oil and butter you cannot see.
  • Every meal says how sure it is.
  • No barcode needed: a photo of the label is enough.
  • Photo logging in ten languages.
  • No ads. Your diary is never sold or used to train AI.
