Your health starts with your metabolism. More than weight. More than calories. Most apps make you weigh food and count calories. Nova reads how every plate moves your metabolism: how your body digests it, whether it stores or burns, and how you recover. No weighing. No calorie math. Photograph any plate. Nova reads it in seconds and shows you what helped, what cost you, and what to do at your next meal. DIGESTION See how your body handles what you eat: food order, timing, and the raw, whole foods that keep you burning instead of storing. METABOLISM Every meal tips you toward stored or burned. Nova shows which way this one leans, and why. RECOVERY Know when to eat and how your body resets, so tomorrow starts clean. A COACH THAT TEACHES YOU Nova does not just grade your plate. It explains the why in plain language, plate by plate, until eating this way is second nature. Recovery days, meal reminders, and a full Learn library guide you the whole way. Photograph a plate. Understand your metabolism. Change how you eat for good. Nova is a food and habit tool. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition. SUBSCRIPTION Nova Monthly: $4.99 per month. Nova Yearly: $49.99 per year ($4.16 per month) with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Renpho at none against Nova Method's 2. Renpho also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Nova Method's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months). On price there is nothing between them.
