Same is the new and easy way to track calories. Free. No ads. We know that calorie tracking can be annoying and hard to do everyday. That's why we built Same. Our goal is to make the world a healthier and happier place. Type out what you ate and Same will log it for you, all from one screen. This is one of our popular features, especially for people on the go. We're not always at our fridge to scan, or don't necessarily want to snap a photo of our meals. With Same's writing feature, you can write or use voice to describe in detail as much as you ate, and Same will automatically log it for you in seconds. We've had people literally just log everything, with as much detail as they can, and submit that. It's a pretty magical moment to know that in a few seconds, you're done and can go on about your day. This is what separates Same from other trackers. Once you get used to just writing it out, it's hard to go back. Just like other trackers, you can snap a photo of your meal and get an estimation. If you want to use Same for free, no problem. Same offers free logging, barcode scanning, fasting, analytics, and more. Our goal is to help as many people in the world be fit and healthy. We know how painful it can feel to not be proud of the body you are in. We hope we can make your life a little better, so you can be happy, healthy, and enjoy your time on this planet. Thank you. If you have any feedback or thoughts, we would love to hear from you.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Same at every 3 days against Untold's every 3 weeks. Untold's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 6). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
