Which one should you pick?
If you mostly eat packaged food and want barcode scanning on an iPhone, Cal AI is a strong choice. If you want to log in your own language, by voice or photo, and track workouts and goals in one place, try CalorAI. Both are free to download, so the easiest way to decide is to log a day of meals in each.
