Short summary
The free app covers the basics of food and exercise logging. Premium is worth it if logging speed and custom macros keep you consistent — barcode and voice logging save real time. Try it for 7 days, then go annual if you stick with it.
Logging speed
Barcode, meal scan and voice.
Monthly is pricey
Annual is 67% cheaper.
- We recommend first:
- People tracking macros for weight or strength goals.
- With caveats:
- Casual loggers — the free app may be enough.

Our score and what it’s made of
This is our own assessment based on checked facts. It isn’t an average of user reviews or the provider’s claim. Below — every criterion with its weight and source.
4,5
out of 5 · 7 of 7 criteria checked
The score is calculated from the criteria you see below: each criterion shows its weight, what exactly we found and where. Where we have the provider’s page, there’s a link with a check date; where the number comes from our catalog, we say so. “Not checked” means we don’t have the data and the criterion isn’t counted. “Provider doesn’t say” means we went through the provider’s pages but the information isn’t there; that criterion isn’t counted either. If you disagree with the weights — in the methodology you’ll see all the parts and can weigh them your own way. We don’t put app store ratings into structured data: they were collected on other websites, so they stay as visible text.

Canceling without a surprise renewal

- Android: Google Play → Payments and subscriptions → Subscriptions.
The 24-hour window
What US App Store reviewers say
MyFitnessPal has 4.7 out of 5 stars from 2.4 million ratings on the US App Store. We also read the 50 most recent US reviews — 16 of them gave one or two stars. Recent reviews skew toward people with a problem, so read them as a list of what can go wrong, not as a verdict.
Praised
Reviewers describe it as an accountability partner for weight loss and diet tracking.
Paywall
Barcode scanning needing Premium is a recurring complaint from long-time free users.
Redesign
Others dislike recent updates and say goals reset to defaults.
If barcode scanning matters to you, that alone may decide whether you need Premium.
Intermittent fasting in MyFitnessPal
The fasting tracker is a Premium feature. It times your fasting and eating windows and sits at the top of your Today screen once it’s on.
12:12
12 hours fasting, 12 hours eating – a good place to start.
14:10
Fasting for 14 hours; fewer snacks.
16:8
Fasting for 16 hours, usually skipping breakfast or late eating.
Switch anytime
You can change pattern and edit your fasting history.
Fasting is only in the iPhone and Android apps – not on iPad or the website.
When the household eats the same thing
MyFitnessPal has no family plan, but friends and family can still speed up each other’s logging.
Copy a meal
If a friend has made their diary visible to you, copy a meal from it to your own day.
Recipes
Can’t be shared directly – log the recipe as a meal, and others can copy it.
Multi-day logging
With Premium, one entry can go on up to seven days – handy for a batch of chili.
Each person still needs their own account and subscription.

App ratings in the stores
These are ratings from store users. They rate how the app works; they say nothing about whether the subscription price is fair.
Ratings change constantly and often drop after price increases or removed features. We show the value from the check date together with the number of reviews, because 4.8 from two hundred and 4.5 from two million ratings aren’t the same thing.

Privacy, accessibility and transparency
What data you can control, how the accessibility features work, and what the provider discloses.
Privacy and data
MyFitnessPal has more social features than most nutrition apps. These settings control them.
Who sees your diary
Public, friends only or locked – under Settings → Privacy Center → Sharing & Privacy → Diary Sharing. It’s private by default.
Weight is always private
Your weight isn’t shared, whatever your diary setting.
Find me by email
You can stop others from finding your profile by searching your email address.
Progress Photos
Only you see them – unless you share them with the Share button.
Delete your account
Deletion is permanent and can’t be undone.
What we don’t claim
Common claims about MyFitnessPal, next to what MyFitnessPal says.
You need Premium to log food.
Nutrition, weight and exercise tracking are free.
Annual has more features than monthly.
Monthly has the same benefits, a month at a time.
There’s no way to try Premium.
MyFitnessPal offers a 7-day free Premium pass.
If there’s no price on the page, the service isn’t available in the US.
Not necessarily. More often it means the provider doesn’t publish a fixed price or shows it only at checkout. Availability and a published price are two different things.
An annual plan always works out cheaper.
Cheaper than the monthly plan only if you use the whole period. You pay for the whole year up front, and when you cancel you usually don’t get the unused part back — so it’s a saving for people who already know they’ll stay all year.
Deleting the app cancels the subscription.
No. Deleting the app doesn’t stop the payments — only canceling in the account where you bought the subscription does. The app disappears, the bill stays.
Every plan looks the same in every country.
No. The list of plans, the features in the same plan and the available languages can differ. That’s why we don’t carry data from another country over to the US page.
The price on the pricing page is exactly what you’ll be charged.
Not always. US providers list prices before sales tax, and whether tax is added at checkout — and how much — depends on your state. On one VPN order page we saw a 6.25% sales tax added on top of the listed monthly price.
This list isn’t an accusation against the service. If you find something on our page that doesn’t match the official source, write to us.

FAQ
How we work
This page is a comparison, and for every claim we say where it comes from.
The provider’s sources
The facts come from myfitnesspal.com/premium.
We don’t write prices into the text
Prices are in the price block, in the price list’s currency, with a source and a date.
Product facts are shared, market facts aren’t
How many screens a plan allows, how many devices an account works on, how many servers a network has — that doesn’t depend on the country, and on our pages those numbers are the same in every language; a separate tool watches over that. Price, promotions, availability and app language belong to the market, and we never carry them over from another country.
The provider’s list is the same for everyone
If a service publishes a list of countries or languages, we can say whether the US is on it — that list looks the same for everyone. Checkout, however, can look different for every account, so for amounts a provider shows only at checkout we write: check before you pay.
A shorter section doesn’t mean something is missing from the product
If a section here is shorter than for another service, it’s because the provider publishes less about it. We don’t fill the gap with generic wording just to make the page look more complete.
Three different answers
We distinguish between “none”, “the provider doesn’t say” and “we didn’t find it”. They’re three different situations — mixing them up would turn our own limitation into a flaw in the product.
A price without a source isn’t shown
If an amount has no source and date, we don’t show it. An empty spot is more honest than a number that only looks right — and prices change more often than articles get updated.
Data from the US market
This page isn’t a translation of another language version. Numbers from other countries don’t end up here: markets differ, and that’s exactly why this page exists.
Affiliate links are labeled at the link
If a link is an affiliate link, we say so right next to it. The commission doesn’t affect what we write — and you know about it before you click.
We fix errors openly
If we got something wrong, we fix it and note what changed. A silent correction would mean you never find out you once relied on wrong information.
If anything on this page has gone out of date, write to us — we’ll fix it and note the date.
The order in the comparison is decided by the type of service; commission size doesn’t affect it.
Some links to providers are affiliate links: if you subscribe through them, we may earn a commission. It affects neither the price nor the placement in the comparison. Affiliate links are always labeled next to the link itself.
