It unlocks: • Unlimited history — every day you've ever logged, not just the last 7 • CSV export — your whole log as a spreadsheet, one row per food Barcode scanning, your daily log, and the last 7 days of history stay free forever. MADE TO BE SIMPLE One screen for today. A couple of taps to log a food. Nothing to configure, nothing to learn. A NOTE ON DATA Nutrition values come from Open Food Facts, an open, crowdsourced database, so they are estimates. Always check the packaging when accuracy matters. SnapCal is a logging tool, not medical or dietary advice.

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