Choose Foodvisor if you want a structured program with workouts and recipes, the vitamins and minerals behind your meals, or an app that also runs on Android, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. Choose Calorix if you’re on iPhone and want to log by photo, nutrition label or voice every day without paying, see each ingredient of a photo estimate with its grams and confidence, fix it in seconds, and stay motivated with Toasty, a living pet who eats, drinks and celebrates with you as you log.
We make Calorix, so we’re not neutral. Every fact about Foodvisor here comes from its App Store listing, help center or terms of service, checked on October 11, 2026. Prices are US prices and vary by country.
Free versions
Foodvisor’s help center says “the free version of Foodvisor allows you to track your food intake by manually logging meals into the food diary”, with photo meal analysis in Premium (Foodvisor help). Its newer terms of service, dated September 29, 2026, also list barcode scanning among the features “all users” can use (terms). Its App Store listing presents photo, voice, text and barcode logging without saying which are paid.
Calorix’s free version covers barcode lookups, food search and manual logging with no limit, water, weight and every fasting schedule, plus 3 AI scans a day for photos, labels, descriptions and voice (pricing).
Logging and AI
Both apps start from a photo. Foodvisor identifies the foods on the plate and lets you swap a detected food for an alternative or change its portion. Calorix returns a review card listing each ingredient with its portion, grams, calories and a confidence badge, and lets you change any line, add what the camera missed, or tell Fix with AI what to correct. Calorix also reads nutrition labels; Foodvisor’s listing doesn’t mention label scanning.
Neither app publishes accuracy figures for its photo estimates. Photo estimates from any app can miss hidden oils and portion depth: in a preliminary NIH study presented in July 2026, four popular apps underestimated weighed meals by about a third (our summary).
Nutrition detail and programs
Foodvisor goes further on nutrition detail and coaching: Premium includes “full meal analysis: vitamins, minerals, micronutrients”, a personalised nutrition program, workout sessions, fasting programs and recipes, according to its listing. Calorix tracks calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber and water, and suggests meals that fit what’s left of your day, but offers no vitamins, programs or workouts.
Motivation
Foodvisor’s listing describes gamification with a seed you grow, and a community. Calorix has Toasty, a pet ember who reacts when you log, with daily and weekly challenges and streak freezes that are earned, never sold (Toasty).
Platforms and languages
Foodvisor runs on iPhone (iOS 17 or later), iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Android, in 20 languages. Calorix 2.0 runs on iPhone only, iOS 17 or later, in 16 languages, and an Apple Watch app is planned.
Pricing, trial and refunds
Foodvisor publishes no fixed price: “This is why we cannot provide a fixed universal price,” its help center says, because the price depends on your country, the platform (App Store, Google Play or its website) and promotions (Foodvisor help). On October 11, 2026, its US App Store page listed one-month plans at $14.99, $29.99 and $39.99 and three-month plans at $59.99 and $89.99, plus “Premium trial” purchases at $59.99 and $71.99. A referral gives a 14-day free trial followed by a 3-month subscription. Refunds must be requested within 14 days, and App Store purchases are refunded only by Apple.
Calorix Pro costs $3.99 a week, $9.99 a month or $39.99 a year in the US, after a 3-day free trial, sold only through the App Store.
Who makes Foodvisor
Foodvisor’s terms name FOODVISOR SAS, registered in Paris, as the company behind the app. In January 2026, CFNEWS, citing L’Informé, reported that Xynergy, the group that owns the Comme J’aime brand, was buying Foodvisor for €50 to 60 million (CFNEWS); we found no official statement from either company. Calorix is made by Invikta Technology Ltd, an independent UK company.
