You lift. You eat. You want to hit your protein without turning every meal into a data-entry chore or a guilt trip. MacroSquad is a macro tracker built for lifters, and for the friends who keep each other going. LOG A MEAL IN SECONDS Search a food, scan a barcode, or add it by hand. Adjust the portion to what you actually ate, and relog your usuals with a tap. Every entry carries a confidence score, so you always know how solid the number is. TRACK WITH YOUR SQUAD, NOT STRANGERS Build a private squad of up to 8 friends you already know, or up to 20 with Premium. See what they logged today, drop a reaction, and hype each other on. No public feed. No followers. No strangers. Just the people who actually spot you. NO LEADERBOARDS. ON PURPOSE. No rankings. No body-weight comparisons. No streak guilt. Over your target keeps its normal color, never red, because more food is not a failure. Your squad sees your plates, not a scoreboard. STAY WITH IT A gentle daily card meets you where you are, with no pass-or-fail verdict. Layered streaks reward showing up. A weekly recap shows how the week actually went, without handing you a grade. WHERE THE NUMBERS COME FROM Your targets are not made up. An in-app methodology screen, reachable from Home and from Goals, explains exactly how your macro targets are calculated and cites the nutrition science behind them. Read it any time. YOUR DATA IS YOURS Full privacy controls. Export your data whenever you want. Delete your account and everything goes with it. We do not sell your data. Free to use. Built by a lifter, for lifters who want to log fast and stay consistent with their people. MACROSQUAD PREMIUM Logging is free forever, and so is your core squad. Premium adds the layer on top: adaptive targets, deeper history, restaurant menus, analytics, micronutrients, plan phases and bigger squads.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MacroSquad at none against Workout Planner's 15. MacroSquad also leads on ads (none vs shown). Workout Planner's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
