The same meal, logged in both apps.
Why not a photo? Mijn Eetmeter has no photo logging. Its own manual tells you to add the frying fat and the margarine on your bread yourself, because people often forget them.
Packaged food? No barcode scanner needed. Take a photo of the label. Snapkin reads the numbers on the packet and remembers the product.

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.
A Dutch study from 2021 tested it with 100 adults. Dietitians also asked them what they ate. Mijn Eetmeter missed about 6% of the calories. Drinks and added fat were missed most. The study said apps should ask about food people forget. Snapkin asks about the oil, butter and sauce it cannot see. Snapkin was not in that study.
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.
