As of October 20, 2026, MyFitnessPal still has a free food log, and Premium is $79.99 a year or $19.99 a month for custom macros, voice log, meal scan, and barcode scan. Leave it for Cronometer if you want those custom macros on the free plan and a deeper nutrient log. Leave it for MacroFactor if next week's calories should follow your weight. Leave it for SnapCalorie if the photo estimate has to stay free.

Stay with MyFitnessPal if
- The database is why you still log. Switching costs more than Premium.
- You want a free diary and you will set the calorie goal yourself.
- Voice log and meal scan are worth Premium, and you do not need an expenditure model.
Leave MyFitnessPal if
- Custom macros are the feature you wanted, and you do not want them on the $79.99 plan. Cronometer's Gold page lists them on Basic.
- You want the target to move with your weight. MyFitnessPal Premium does not describe that. MacroFactor does.
- You want to photograph the meal and pay nothing. SnapCalorie's homepage says free forever. MyFitnessPal's Premium page puts meal scan on the paid plan.

Questions
- What is the best MyFitnessPal alternative?
- As of October 20, 2026, it depends on the job you were using MyFitnessPal for. For a free log with micronutrients and custom macros, Cronometer Basic. For a calorie target that follows your weight, MacroFactor, at $71.99 a year and no free tier. For a photo estimate the company says stays free, SnapCalorie. MyFitnessPal remains the familiar database if that is why you open it.
- Is there a free alternative to MyFitnessPal?
- MyFitnessPal's own log is already free. Cronometer Basic is the free alternative if you want more than calories, and the Gold page lists custom macro targets on that free plan. SnapCalorie says photo logging is free forever. Kanso's App Store description says the tracker is free and has no ads, and the same listing sells Pro without explaining it. A 7-day Premium trial is not a free alternative.
- Is Cronometer a good replacement for MyFitnessPal?
- Yes, if the missing piece was nutrients or custom macros on a free plan. Gold is $59.99 a year, against MyFitnessPal Premium at $79.99. Cronometer will feel stricter, and the food database is not why people stay with MyFitnessPal. The head-to-head is on the Cronometer vs MyFitnessPal page. Neither app is MacroFactor.
- Which MyFitnessPal alternative uses AI to change my calories?
- MacroFactor. It estimates expenditure from logged food and weight, then updates the targets. Carbon does the same kind of job at $99.99 a year. Crono Coach, on Cronometer Gold, is guidance from your log. The Gold page does not describe that expenditure update. MyFitnessPal Premium does not describe it either.
