GLICODEN

GLICODEN ti aiuta a capire, in modo semplice, come i cibi muovono la glicemia e l'energia. È uno strumento educativo, per tutti: impari a leggere un piatto, non a curare una malattia. Cosa fai con GLICODEN: • Foto al piatto: fotografi quello che mangi e scopri l'impatto stimato sulla glicemia, con il Metodo GLICODEN (quantità, velocità, equilibrio, preparazione). • Codice a barre: scansioni un prodotto e vedi carboidrati e impatto. • Cerca e ricette: centinaia di alimenti con valori e alternative a impatto più basso. • Impara: capitoli brevi su indice glicemico, carico glicemico e altro, con le fonti scientifiche. I dati vengono da fonti riconosciute (International Tables of Glycemic Index dell'Università di Sydney; CREA e USDA per i valori nutrizionali), citate dentro l'app. GLICODEN non è un dispositivo medico e non fornisce consigli medici: non sostituisce il parere del diabetologo o del dietista. — GLICODEN Plus (abbonamento) - Foto al piatto illimitata (analisi AI del pasto) - Mensile 5,99€ o Annuale 59,99€ L'abbonamento si rinnova automaticamente salvo disdetta almeno 24 ore prima della fine del periodo. Il pagamento è addebitato sull'account Apple alla conferma. Puoi gestire o disdire dalle impostazioni dell'account.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: GLICODEN at every 4 days against Glico's every 3 weeks. GLICODEN also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
