Just snap a meal photo or speak what you ate, and get an instant calorie & nutrient breakdown. It's that simple. • Trends: See your streak, nutrition averages, and weight progress over time in the new Trends tab. • Siri integration: Log meals without even opening the app! Just say something like "Hey Siri, log food to Calorik" and Siri will handle the rest. • Tracked Nutrients: Get a detailed breakdown of all the nutrients and macros for everything you eat. We're talking Saturated Fats, Added Sugars, Cholesterol, Sodium, and much, much more. Our goal? To give you the most in-depth look at your nutrition. • Meal Snap: Just take a picture of your meal, the label of the food, or even just a photo of the packaging to track your meals and calories instantly. It's that easy. No more manual input, no more guesswork. And with our Quick Snap picture, taking a picture only takes two taps. • Meal Chat: Or just tell Calorik in your own words what you ate, and let AI prediction do the rest. Tweak your entries with AI for max accuracy. • Consistency Over Guesswork: Knowing what you’re eating is the #1 way to lose weight or build muscle, but how many people do you know that have tracked their nutrition for 2+ weeks at a time? And liked it? Literally no one. Because it takes forevvvvver. Until now. We're smashing the biggest barrier to your fitness goals - inconsistency. • Designed For Accuracy: Beef up your input with details to dial in the accuracy. Had a sushiritto with extra spicy tuna? Got it. Complicated casserole at mom’s house? Don't ever hunt and peck your way through a list of ingredients again. Power user? Refine your entries down to the calorie—both manually or with the help of AI. • Macro Mastery Without the Math: Auto-macros that adjust as you munch. Make sure you’re getting the protein you need throughout the day so you stay full and build muscle. • Insights Into Your Workouts: Set your goals based on your activity level, and easily track which foods fuel you to burn fat, gain muscle, and boost energy. • Progress You Can See: Customize your end goals, get recommended daily calorie and macro targets, and watch yourself get closer to them, one bite at a time. • Apple Health Integration: Switch on activity tracking and your nutrition recommendations change to match your workouts. And your data is yours—Calorik pushes your nutrition data back to Apple Health so you can share with other apps. ### Subscription Information Calorik offers an auto-renewing subscription at to provide you with unlimited access to premium features and the highest quality AI models.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Calorik at 4.9 against Hydrolock's 2.0. Calorik also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (45 vs 1). Hydrolock's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Calorik sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Hydrolock sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Calorik holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Calorik has 45 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of Calorik's written reviews are positive against 100% of Hydrolock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
