MyMacros+: what the vendor documents
The current MyMacros+ iOS description includes offline access to preloaded foods, Apple Health sync and AI photo scanning. Pro adds analysis and CSV export. The older paid-download-only description no longer matches the store, and there is no basis here for calling its food logging exclusively manual. [1]
- Free-tier limits, Android AI-photo availability and Health Connect support remain unverified.
MacroLog: free and Pro
Logging works offline with local storage, except AI photo and voice logging, which need internet. Multi-device sync is planned and is not available today. Data export is a Pro feature.
- Manual search, unlimited barcode scanning, basic stats and local storage. Free forever, no card.
- Pro adds AI photo logging, voice logging, 12 tracked micronutrients and CSV/JSON export. Photo and voice use Gemini and need internet access. Accuracy is not guaranteed; low-confidence items are flagged for your review.
- MacroLog is available on iOS and Android, with no web app. Multi-device sync is planned. Photo and voice logging require both Pro and internet access.
Apple Health on iOS / Health Connect on Android: writes calories, protein, carbs, fat, 12 micronutrients, water and weight; reads weight (two-way), steps and active energy. Steps and active energy are informational only and never change the calorie budget.
Health sync and daily use
The iOS description advertises two-way nutrition and weight sync. [1]
Not stated by vendor in the checked sources. [4][3]
Check both the data type and its direction. A connection badge does not promise that a complete food diary will move between apps. MacroLog multi-device sync is planned, and health integration does not change that status.
Prices and billing periods
Prices were read on 10 September 2026. USD amounts refer to US offers; PLN amounts come from the Polish App Store. We did not convert currencies. The table distinguishes named billing periods from purchases with no stated duration.
Pro: $5.99/month or $49/year in the US. The first week costs $2: a paid trial, not a free trial. Prices vary by country and store.
A store listing can include several prices for the same plan. The final purchase screen determines the amount, billing period and renewal terms offered to you. A free download is not proof of an ongoing free subscription.
Which fits your needs?
Consider MyMacros+ if its Pro analysis, multiple macro goals or web access meet your needs. Consider MacroLog if the explicit free scanner and local storage suit you. Check the actual subscription screen before treating either product's optional extras as part of the base plan. [1]
- Manual search, unlimited barcode scanning, basic stats and local storage. Free forever, no card.
