How we rank apps

We look at the same things for every calorie counter and calorie tracker app: how quickly you can log a meal, how reliable the food data is, how much nutrition detail you see, what the free version includes and what the paid plan adds and costs.

Feature and price details come from each company’s website and app store listings for US users. We note the date, check again every month and update the page, including its date, when something changes.

The order is our editorial judgement, and each ranking explains why every app sits where it does. If we get something wrong, we fix it and update the page.
