FoodvisorFoodvisor has been on the App Store since 2016, and it was one of the first apps to introduce photo logging. Today it’s closer to a game or a nutrition course than a calorie counter. Next to the food diary you get a short nutrition lesson each day, a rating of how healthy each food is, and a small character that grows as you log. If you’re weighing it against the app most people start with, see our MyFitnessPal review. If photo logging is what you’re after, see our Cal AI review.
Is Foodvisor free? Free vs Premium
Yes, there’s a free version. It lets you log meals in your food diary by search, by barcode or from your favorites. Everything that makes Foodvisor different sits in Premium—photo logging, describing a meal in words, the daily lessons, recipes, your own macro split and a summary of each day.
How much Foodvisor Premium costs
Foodvisor doesn’t publish a price list, and its prices aren’t fixed. The US App Store lists purchases from $14.99 to $89.99 on the App Store, with several prices for the same plan. One month of Premium appears at three different prices. What you pay depends on the offer the app shows you, and its help center says that offer changes with your country, your platform and any promotion running at the time.
Workouts and meal plans cost extra. The Sport & Meal Plan pack is a one-time purchase with a video workout program and 28 days of menus, and Premium doesn’t include it. It works the other way around too. Buying the pack doesn’t unlock Premium. On iPhone, a family plan shares Premium with up to five people.
Cancelling and refunds
To cancel, use the same system you subscribed through. That’s your Apple or Google subscriptions, or your account page on Foodvisor’s website. Deleting your account doesn’t cancel the subscription.
Cancelling stops the next renewal, but it doesn’t refund the one you’ve paid for. If you paid through the App Store or Google Play, only Apple or Google can give you a refund, and Foodvisor’s refund policy asks you to request it within 14 days. Check which plan you’re buying before you confirm.
Logging a meal from a photo
Photo logging is the feature Foodvisor started with, and it’s part of Premium. You photograph your plate, and the app recognizes the foods and suggests a match for each one. If it picks the wrong food, you choose another suggestion or search for the right one. Then you adjust the amounts and add the meal. For the best results, Foodvisor suggests shooting from above, in good light, with the foods spread apart.
Is Foodvisor accurate?
Foodvisor publishes no accuracy figure for its photo logging, and we found no outside test of it. Its App Store listing makes a claim about results instead. Users lose an average of 15.83 pounds in three months, according to an internal study of 4,419 users in January 2026, with an average BMI of 34.72. That’s a study of Foodvisor’s own users, run by Foodvisor, so read it as a claim rather than a measure of accuracy.
Search, barcodes and describing a meal
Search and the barcode scanner work in the free version. Foodvisor doesn’t name the food database it uses, but if a packaged food’s numbers are wrong, you can edit them yourself. With Premium you can also describe a meal in your own words—“a mixed salad at a restaurant”—and the AI estimates it. The App Store listing says you can speak to the app too.
Lessons, food ratings and gamification
This is where Foodvisor differs most from a plain tracker. Its Coach tab has a short lesson each day on nutrition and motivation, and Premium adds a summary of each day with suggestions. It feels a lot like Noom, at a tracker’s price.
The app also rates how healthy each food you log is, on a four-step scale from very good to careful. Each rating shows as a small colored face beside the food, blue for very good, then green, orange and red, and your diary takes on the average color of the day’s meals. A rating judges one food on its own. It doesn’t tell you whether your day is balanced.
In January 2026, Foodvisor added a new layer of gamification. A small character grows as you log meals, drink water and move, with daily quests, gems and a shop. Some people love it. Others find that the screens it adds after each meal slow them down, and there’s no way to turn it off. Its help center says an option to disable it “isn’t planned in the short term”.
Static calorie and macro goals
Foodvisor’s goals are static. It sets your calorie goal once, from your weight, height, age and activity level, and that goal “doesn’t change on its own”. Your protein, carbs and fat goals are shares of it. A switch called Include activity in goal adds the calories you burn from steps and workouts to the day, and the macro goals rise with it. Nothing adjusts the goal as your weight changes, and Foodvisor doesn’t say which formula it uses.
Taking your data with you
You can export your nutrition data as a CSV file, but only with Premium. Foodvisor doesn’t import history from other apps. It runs on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Android, with no web app. The website only manages your subscription.
Where Fit Shapes fits
Foodvisor is part game for tracking your meals and part course on dieting. Fit Shapes is a calorie counter and macro tracker first, built for speed and ease of use. A photo logs the meal instantly, and each week Adaptive Targets proposes new targets from what you eat and weigh. Every subscription includes data export, and the app imports your history from the apps people leave. It has no ads and doesn’t sell your data.
The catch is that Fit Shapes has no gamification and no lessons in the app. If a game or a daily lesson is what keeps you logging, Foodvisor has both.
Questions
Is Foodvisor free?
Partly. The free version logs food by search and barcode. Photo logging, describing a meal, the daily lessons, recipes and your own macro split need Premium.
How much does Foodvisor cost?
Foodvisor doesn’t publish a price list, and its prices aren’t fixed. The US App Store lists purchases from $14.99 to $89.99 on the App Store, with several prices for the same plan. What you pay depends on the offer the app shows you, your country and any promotion. The Sport & Meal Plan pack costs extra.
Does Foodvisor have a free trial?
A friend’s referral gives you a 14-day free trial, and a paid subscription starts when it ends unless you cancel. Otherwise, the app shows its trial terms when you sign up.
How do I cancel Foodvisor?
Use the same system you subscribed through. That’s your Apple or Google subscriptions, or your account page on Foodvisor’s website. Deleting your account doesn’t cancel the subscription, and cancelling doesn’t refund the current one.
Is Foodvisor worth it?
It depends on what you want around your food log. If daily lessons and a game keep you logging, Premium includes both. If you want a quiet log, adaptive targets or a free export, look elsewhere.
Can you turn off Foodvisor’s gamification?
No. Foodvisor says there’s no setting to hide the character, its quests, gems or animations, and an option isn’t planned in the short term.
Can I use Foodvisor on a computer?
No. Foodvisor has no web app. The website only manages your subscription. The iPhone app runs on Apple silicon Macs, but Foodvisor says it isn’t optimized for them.
