Lose It alternative

Lose It! alternative: How the two compare

The Lose It! app and CaloriePix can both log a meal from a photo or your voice, and both scan nutrition labels. Lose It! has a long track record, a free plan and a community, while CaloriePix focuses on editable AI estimates, works without an account and doesn't limit its AI logging to English.

This page is written by the developer of CaloriePix, so read it as a comparison from one of the two apps. Every Lose It! fact links to Lose It!'s own store listings, website or help center. Where we couldn't confirm something, the table says "Not stated".

Where CaloriePix is different
  • Direct nutrition edits. The AI breaks your meal into items with their own amounts and calories, and you can change the amount, unit or nutrition of any of them, including typing in corrected calories or macros.
  • Describe in your own words. Type "2 eggs, toast with butter and a flat white" and the AI fills in the items for you to check.
  • AI logging in more languages. Lose It!'s photo, barcode and voice logging need English. CaloriePix's photo, label and describe logging don't.
  • No account and no ads. Open the app and start logging. Your diary stays on your phone.
  • A smaller, focused app. CaloriePix covers calories, macros, weight, exercise and streaks, and leaves out community, fasting and meal plans.
Where Lose It! is stronger

Lose It! has been around since 2008 and offers a lot beyond logging.

  • Track record and scale. On 2026-10-09 the Lose It! app had a 4.8 average from 780,267 US App Store ratings, and 184K reviews and 10M+ downloads on Google Play.
  • Food database. Its store listing describes a global database of 56+ million items and recipes.
  • Community. Adding friends and joining support groups is part of the free plan. CaloriePix has no social features.
  • More health goals. It lists over 25 health goals and, on Premium, tracking for things like blood pressure, glucose, body measurements and sleep.
  • Devices and integrations. It connects with fitness trackers and scales such as Fitbit, Garmin and Withings, plus Apple Health. CaloriePix connects to Apple Health on iPhone only.
  • More places to log. An Apple Watch app and a website, in addition to the phone apps.
  • Extras on Premium. Intermittent fasting, dietitian-curated nutrition strategies and medication logging.

What you pay

It also says prices change with promotions and that most users get discounted offers in the app, so what you see may be lower.

CaloriePix is free to download. On iPhone you start a subscription to use the app, and the annual plan comes with a 7-day free trial. On Android there's a free plan with 3 AI analyses plus manual entry and food search, and the subscription adds a daily allowance of AI analyses, longer stats and goal editing. You always see the price in the store before you confirm.

Who should pick which

Pick Lose It! if you want a free plan with community support, a website or Apple Watch app, fasting tools, or links to fitness trackers and smart scales.

Pick CaloriePix if you want to correct the nutrition of each item in an AI estimate, log by typing a description, use AI logging in a language other than English, or skip accounts and ads.

Either works if you mainly want to log meals by photo or voice and keep an eye on calories and macros.
