CalorAI and SnapCalorie are both photo-first calorie counters: point your camera at a meal and the AI estimates calories, protein, carbs and fat. They are made by different companies, SnapCalorie by Perception Labs in the US and CalorAI by Intellivation AB in Sweden.
We make CalorAI, so here are the facts side by side, including where SnapCalorie is stronger.

Where SnapCalorie is stronger
- Portion size on iPhone Pro: the depth sensor measures the volume of food on the plate.
- Nutrition label scanning for packaged food.
- A generous free tier for core photo logging.
Where CalorAI is stronger
- Your language: 18 languages, with full right-to-left support for Arabic and Farsi, plus Kurdish and Turkish. SnapCalorie is in English only.
- Price: Pro costs about a quarter of SnapCalorie Premium per year.
- More than logging: workouts that raise your daily target, a weight goal plan with milestones, an AI coach, a meal planner and health warnings.
- Works the same on any phone, without needing a depth sensor.
Which one should you pick?
If you use an iPhone Pro, read English and mainly want very fast photo logging, SnapCalorie is a good choice. If you want the app in your own language, at a lower price, with workouts, goals and coaching in the same place, try CalorAI. Both are free to download, so log one day of meals in each and keep the one that feels easier.
