Log meals the easy way. Snap a photo or type what you ate. EatSnap shows calories and macros, and every item stays editable. No ads. No social feeds. No streak pressure. Just a calm, simple way to know what you eat. WHY EATSNAP FEELS DIFFERENT I'm an indie developer, and I'm on a diet myself. I don't have much time to exercise, so I wanted to understand my daily intake. That meant logging every meal. I tried many calorie apps, but most felt clunky and cluttered. Logging became a chore, so I built the one I wanted to use. HOW IT WORKS 1. Snap a photo, or type something like "latte and an egg sandwich." 2. EatSnap breaks the meal into items. 3. Change any name or weight to match what you actually ate. 4. Save it, and your totals update. MADE AROUND ONE MEAL A plate of steak and mashed potatoes is one meal, with each item inside. You can rename an item, adjust its weight, or add what's missing. The meal stays easy to read, and the details stay in your control. ESTIMATES YOU CAN ADJUST A photo can't know everything about a meal. Ingredients, cooking methods, and portion sizes all matter. EatSnap gives you a starting estimate, then lets you review and adjust it before saving. SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE Check your calories, carbs, protein, and fat in one view. Track your water intake, review your food reports, and export your records whenever you need them. FOOD FROM EVERYWHERE I tested EatSnap on cuisines from around the world, so it handles more than burgers and salads. Log the meals you actually eat. FRIENDLY ON IPHONE Built for iOS 26, with a clean design that feels familiar. Light and dark modes keep your food in focus, not the interface. EatSnap syncs with Apple Health, and your history is backed up with iCloud. TRY IT ON YOUR OWN MEALS There's a free trial. After that, unlimited logging requires a monthly or yearly subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at purchase confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://eatsnapai.com/

Calvi is a food diary where you never type calories by hand. Write the way you speak: "two eggs and toast with butter", "a bowl of borscht", "300 ml of water", "ran 30 minutes". Nora, the built-in AI assistant, reads the sentence, recognises the dish, takes the portion weight into account and logs calories, protein, fat and carbs herself. If the weight is missing, she asks once and offers amounts you pick with one tap. No tables, no searching a database, no calculator. A PHOTO INSTEAD OF WORDS Snap your plate and Nora tells you what is on it and what it adds up to. The photo lives only as long as the analysis takes: it is never stored and never reaches our database. ONE DIARY FOR THE WHOLE DAY • Calories, protein, fat and carbs for every meal, counted by Nora • Water • Weight and body measurements • Workouts: burned calories are subtracted from what you ate, so a training day gives you room • Medications with reminders A NORM THAT IS YOURS The daily norm comes from the Mifflin-St Jeor formula: height, weight, age and activity. You choose the goal and the pace, and the app says plainly when you will get there and when the pace is too aggressive to hold. Days inside your norm turn green, and the streak counts them. NORA REMEMBERS Say "I don't eat pork" once and never repeat it. Allergens are checked against what a dish is made of, not its name, so peanuts hidden in a sauce do not slip through. YOUR OWN DISHES Log your homemade borscht once and it counts the same way next time. Your dishes stay yours and never change the shared reference for anyone else. ANALYTICS WITHOUT DECORATION Weeks and months as charts: calories, weight, macros, measurements. You see the trend instead of one bad day. FREE AND PRO The diary, analytics, water, workouts, measurements and medications are free, with no ads and no time limit. Nora is free too, within a monthly allowance of tokens: a message costs one, a photo two. Calvi Pro removes the allowance: unlimited conversations, photos, weekly reviews and recipe ideas. Pro is a monthly or yearly subscription that renews automatically until cancelled; cancel anytime in your App Store subscription settings. Buying Pro requires signing in, so the subscription follows you to a new phone. WORKS WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT The app is ready from the first second, with no email and no password. Sign in with Apple or Google does two things: it brings your entries back on a new phone and it ties Pro to you rather than to a device. HONEST ABOUT THE NUMBERS Calorie values are estimates: from the label for packaged food, averages for dishes. Calvi is a logging tool, not a medical device and not a doctor. Decisions about your health stay with you and your physician. Calvi Pro subscription Calvi Pro Monthly: one month, renews every month Calvi Pro Yearly: one year, renews every year The price is shown in the app in your local currency before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://calvi.uk/privacy

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Calvi AI at free with in-app purchases against EatSnap's subscription. Calvi AI also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). EatSnap's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
