MyFitnessPal is the best-known calorie counter in the world, with a food database of more than 20 million items. CalorAI is a newer app built around AI: you take a photo of your plate, type what you ate or say it, and it estimates the calories and macros.
They solve the same problem in different ways. We make CalorAI, so here is an honest side-by-side.

Which one should you pick?
Choose MyFitnessPal if you want to weigh food and log exact products from a huge database. Choose CalorAI if you want logging to take seconds, in your own language, with an AI coach that knows your day. Many people who quit MyFitnessPal because logging took too long find photo logging easier to keep up.
