The Comprehensive Calorie Tracker. Food, workouts and daily burn, in one app. MinervaOS brings together what you ate and what your body burned, from resting metabolism and digestion to steps and workouts. Your weigh-in trends help adjust the estimates over time. WHAT YOU EAT Log with a photo, a barcode, the food database, a saved meal, or a sentence to Quick Log. See calories, protein, carbs, fat and micronutrients, with the day's food log underneath. WHAT YOU BURN Your burn, itemized. Basal, workouts, movement and digestion each get their own number, and a tap shows how it is worked out. Log lifts with sets, reps and weight, cardio by time, or the exact calories your machine shows. Add average watts to your rides. WEARABLES AND APPLE HEALTH Connect Apple Health and supported wearables. MinervaOS recalculates workout burn from the raw data instead of taking the device's number as given. PERSONALIZED BURN Weigh in and MinervaOS compares what the math predicted with what the scale showed, then adjusts your burn on a seven-day cycle. TRENDS Daily energy balance, calories eaten, weight and steps over a week, a month or longer. SOCIAL, IF YOU WANT IT Share a meal or a workout with friends, follow people and keep groups. Sharing is optional. MinervaOS requires a subscription to access all features: $9.99 per month or $69.99 per year, each with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings. Prices shown are in U.S. dollars and may vary by region. Calorie burn and food figures are estimates, not medical advice.

Vantage

Vantage is a longevity coach, not another dashboard. It reads your Apple Health data and tells you what to do today for your training, nutrition and sleep. Two scores. No streaks. Start with a 7-day free trial. Most health apps show you fifteen metrics and leave you to figure out what to do. Vantage shows you two numbers — Recovery and Longevity — and the actions worth taking today. That's the whole idea. Radical simplicity, on purpose. WHAT VANTAGE DOES Reads your Apple Health data with your permission: sleep, activity, workouts, heart rate, HRV, body measurements and nutrition. Writes your weight and body measurements back. You choose what to share and can revoke it any time. Gives you two scores. Recovery tells you how ready you are to train today. Longevity is one number, 0 to 100, built from your VO₂ max, your body composition, and your consistency in training, nutrition and sleep over the last 30 days. Every input is broken out, so you can see where your score comes from. Gives you today's actions. The prioritized moves for your training, your nutrition and your sleep, chosen for today. Training: a program built for longevity. Zone 2, VO₂ max and strength sessions in your own heart-rate zones, built around your equipment and your schedule. Every exercise demonstrated on video. Nutrition: calories set by your body composition, protein set by your bodyweight, and a calorie balance that carries across days and grows with what you train. Log your meals and run a fasting timer: you pick the fasting protocol, Vantage keeps the clock and the history. Sleep: up to six sleep tactics built from your nights and your habits (schedule, bedroom, caffeine, alcohol, late meals), ranked by how much each should lift your sleep score. After 30 nights, see which of your behaviors actually move it. WHO IT'S FOR People who take their health seriously, want the evidence-based version, and are tired of dashboards that measure everything and tell you nothing. If you already think in terms of healthspan, not just lifespan, Vantage was built for you. WHAT VANTAGE WON'T DO No streaks to break. No badges. No gamification. No dark patterns. No shame when you miss a day. No ads. No selling your data. A coach, not a slot machine. SUBSCRIPTION Free: your daily Recovery score, sleep metrics, nutrition logging and fasting timer Premium: the Longevity score, today's actions, and your training, nutrition and sleep plans. Monthly or annual, each with a 7-day free trial. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel in your Apple ID settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Vantage at none against MinervaOS's shown. MinervaOS's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
