Scored highest of 30 apps for behavioral strategies in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. The New York Times called it simpler, quicker, and better-looking than the competition. Featured in Today's Dietitian. WHY PEOPLE SWITCH Accuracy: MyNetDiary runs on a staff-verified food database of over 2 million foods with up to 108 nutrients per entry, built on USDA and NCC research-grade sources, the same databases used in clinical research. Most apps rely on crowdsourced data full of duplicates and errors. Our team reviews and updates 2,500-3,500 foods every day. An independent 2026 study in Nutrition and Health found MyNetDiary's calorie totals within 5 calories of the reference records and rated it highest of 17 apps for overall quality. Speed: In our January 2026 test, we logged the same 127 foods in every major app over a week. MyNetDiary took 31% fewer taps than the most popular calorie tracker. Results: In a peer-reviewed JMIR study of 5,132 MyNetDiary users (2026), those who tracked food 6-7 days a week lost 11.33% of body weight on average over 6 months.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Calorie Counter at 171K against UTLD's 1. Calorie Counter also leads on monetization model (freemium vs paid) and chart position (#17 vs unranked). UTLD's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
