Choose Yazio if you want a generous free version on Android, iPad or Apple Watch, with a barcode scanner, recipes and basic fasting, or if the lowest yearly price matters most. Choose Calorix if you’re on iPhone and want to log mostly with the camera, a nutrition label or your voice, see every ingredient of a photo estimate with its grams, correct it in seconds, and keep going 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 Yazio on this page comes from its App Store listing, help center or privacy policy, checked on October 11, 2026. Prices are US prices; they vary by country.
Free versions
Both apps have a real free version. Yazio’s App Store listing describes a “free, intuitive calorie tracker” with a database of more than 4 million foods, a barcode scanner, a water tracker with reminders, step and workout tracking, an optional fasting tracker and more than 2,900 recipes. Calorix’s free version covers barcode lookups, food search and manual logging with no limit, water, weight, every fasting schedule, Toasty and challenges, plus 3 AI scans a day (pricing).
The difference is AI. Yazio’s help center says its AI food tracking “was initially available to all users for free and is now part of Yazio Pro” (Yazio help). In Calorix, photo, label and voice logging are available every day for free, up to the daily limit.
Logging and AI
Yazio logs food from its database, the barcode scanner, and, with Pro, a photo. Its help center describes the AI estimate as a rough estimate. Its App Store listing doesn’t mention voice logging or nutrition label scanning.
Calorix starts from whichever is fastest: a photo, a barcode, a nutrition label, a typed description or your voice. A photo comes back as a review card listing each ingredient with its portion, grams, calories and a confidence badge, and you can change any of them or tell Fix with AI what to correct. See how the scanner works and the barcode and label scanner.
Fasting, water and recipes
Yazio has more food content: 2,900+ recipes in the free version and meal plans with Pro, and its water tracker sends reminders. Its fasting tracker is free with some plans, and Pro unlocks every plan, including 16:8, 12:12, 5:2 and 1:1 (Yazio help).
Calorix includes every fasting schedule for free, from 12:12 to one meal a day or a custom fast, with a timer on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island (fasting tracker). It tracks water against a goal from your weight, with widget buttons and Siri, but doesn’t send water reminders. For food ideas it suggests meals that fit your remaining macros and builds a weekly plan, made by AI with Pro.
Motivation
Yazio’s listing doesn’t describe a mascot or streak system. Calorix has Toasty, a pet ember who reacts when you log, plus daily and weekly challenges and streak freezes that are earned, never sold (Toasty).
Platforms and languages
Yazio runs on iPhone (iOS 16 or later), iPad, Apple Watch and Android, in 20 languages. Calorix 2.0 runs on iPhone only (iOS 17 or later), in 16 languages; an Apple Watch app is planned. The language lists differ: Yazio includes Czech, Danish, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Norwegian, Polish, Russian and Swedish, while Calorix includes Arabic, Indonesian, Vietnamese and Traditional Chinese.
Pricing and trial
Yazio publishes no price list. Its US App Store page lists Pro at $23.90 or $47.90 for 12 months, $34.99 for 6 months and $23.99 for 3 months, and Yazio charges the whole period upfront: “A monthly payment is not possible” (Yazio help). Its 7-day free trial “is offered occasionally and is available only on our website”. You cancel App Store purchases in Apple’s settings, and website purchases in your Yazio account; website purchases come with a 14-day right of withdrawal.
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, billed by the App Store. On its lowest 12-month price, Yazio costs less per year than Calorix; Calorix lets you pay by the week or month instead of upfront.
When Yazio is the better choice
- You use Android, an iPad or an Apple Watch.
- You want recipes, meal plans and water reminders in the same app.
- You want the lowest yearly price, and paying for a whole period upfront suits you.
- You need Yazio’s languages, such as Polish, Swedish or Czech, or you sync with Fitbit, Garmin or Polar.
When Calorix may suit you better
- You want to log by photo, label or voice without paying, within a daily limit.
- You want to see and fix each ingredient of a photo estimate, with grams and confidence.
- You want every fasting schedule free, with a Lock Screen Live Activity.
- You’d enjoy a pet that rewards your streak, or you prefer weekly or monthly billing.
