Calorie counters tell you what you already ate. LeanMenu tells you what to order. Point your camera at any restaurant menu. In 5 seconds, every dish is scored 0–100, with calories, macros, and allergens called out — before you order. Open the app, point your camera, and you'll know what to order before the server comes back. DECIDE WHAT TO ORDER, IN 5 SECONDS - Snap any menu — printed, digital, or chalkboard. - AI scans every dish on the page. - Each one gets a 0–100 health score, color-coded green/amber/red. - Tap any dish for full calories, macros, and ingredients. WHY LEANMENU IS DIFFERENT - Most apps log what you already ate. LeanMenu helps you decide before you order. - Works on any restaurant — local cafes, fast food, fine dining, food trucks. No pre-loaded database needed. - Sees the whole menu at once, not one dish at a time. - A single number says "order this." No spreadsheets, no rabbit holes. EAT OUT WITHOUT THE GUESSWORK Scan the menu for all FDA Top 9 allergens — milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, sesame — flagged on every dish before you order. Barcode apps can't read a restaurant menu. LeanMenu can. Essential for eating out with food allergies. PERSONALIZED RANKINGS Set your diet (vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, keto, paleo, gluten-free) and your goal (eat healthier, build muscle, boost energy, manage a condition). LeanMenu reranks every menu around what's right for you. EVERY MACRO YOU CARE ABOUT Calories, protein, carbs, fat, sodium, sugar — estimated for every dish. Calibrated for restaurant portions, not home cooking. The numbers reflect what actually shows up on your plate. HIGH-PROTEIN & GLP-1 FRIENDLY DINING On a high-protein push or eating GLP-1 friendly? Find the highest-protein, best-fit dish on any menu in 5 seconds — no menu math. NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED Open the app and scan. No sign-up, no email, no friction. PREMIUM (OPTIONAL) Free for menu scans with ads. Premium ($4.99/mo or $49.99/yr, with 7-day free trial) adds: - Unlimited scan history of every menu you ever scanned - Ad-free experience - "Why this score" rationale on every dish - Detailed nutrition reports PERFECT FOR - Health-conscious diners who eat out 3-5x a week - People with food allergies who need fast allergen checks at restaurants - Anyone tracking macros (high protein, keto, low-carb) while dining out - GLP-1 users choosing higher-protein restaurant meals - Travelers exploring unfamiliar restaurant cuisines - Anyone tired of guessing what's healthy at a restaurant Stop guessing at the table. Scan your next menu free — no account, no setup. LeanMenu won't log every bite; it just makes the next one a smarter choice. NOTES Nutrition values are AI estimates from a photo of the menu — not lab measurements. Always confirm allergens with your server if you have a serious allergy. Not medical advice.

CoachVana is the app your coach's whole program lives in. Training, nutrition, habits, check-ins and your coach's feedback, all in one place instead of scattered across a spreadsheet, a notes app and a DM thread. TRAIN Your coach builds the program, you open the app and it is there. Every exercise with its sets, reps, prescribed load and rest, plus a demo video so you are never guessing at form. Log each set as you go, with a rest timer that starts itself and a plate-jump stepper for the weight. Swap an exercise when a machine is taken and your coach sees what you changed and why. EAT See your coach's meal plan for the day, portioned and counted. Log food from a catalogue of over 400,000 items, scan a barcode, or photograph the plate and let the app estimate it. Water, protein, carbs and fat, tracked against the targets your coach set rather than a number an app made up. TRACK Weight, measurements and progress photos over time. Personal records as you hit them. Training volume week over week. A streak for the days you showed up, and an adherence figure that tells you the truth about the month. STAY CONNECTED Message your coach directly. Fill in your weekly check-in and get real feedback on it. Session reminders, booked calls, and everything your coach is waiting on in one inbox. CONNECT YOUR HEALTH DATA Link Apple Health and your steps, active energy, distance, exercise minutes, sleep, heart rate variability and workouts flow in on their own. Nothing is shared until you connect it, and you choose exactly which categories to allow. FIND A COACH Not working with anyone yet? Browse coaches by specialty, read real reviews from their clients, and apply in a tap. FOR COACHES Run your whole book of business from your phone: your roster, your programs, check-ins to review, your calendar and your inbox. Build a program, write a meal plan, answer a check-in and message a client, all from the same app your clients use. Your data is yours. Export everything you have logged at any time, and delete your account and its data from inside the app. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Coachvana at none against LeanMenu's shown. Coachvana also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). LeanMenu's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
