Snapkin vs YAZIO

Looking for an alternative to YAZIO? Here, the photo is the whole app.

  • One photo per meal. Snapkin works out the portion.
  • It asks about the oil and butter you cannot see.
  • Everything in your language, photo logging too.
  • No ads. Your diary never trains AI.

€9.99 a month or €99.99 a year. The store bills you. Cancel there any time.

An answer makes the estimate clearer
Open what the meal is not sure about. Answer two questions about cooking fats. Dinner changes from 940 to 850 kcal. The daily total updates, and the doubt is gone.

One meal, two apps

The same meal, logged in both apps.

YAZIO

The photo scan needs Pro
  1. The photo scan needs Pro, the paid plan.
  2. Take a photo. You get a first guess of the food and the portions.
  3. YAZIO calls it "a rough estimate". You fix the ingredients and amounts by hand.

Without Pro? Search each food, or scan a barcode.

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. Tap one answer to the question it asks.
  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 shows 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.
