Is Cal AI available on Android?

Yes. Cal AI is on Google Play as "Cal AI - Food Calorie Tracker" from Viral Development. Its website offers a 3-day free trial, and its US App Store listing says scan results require a subscription, so plan on paying after the trial.

What is the best free AI calorie tracker for Android?

No app on this list gives unlimited AI photo logging for free. SnapCalorie comes closest, with up to 3 free AI logs a day. Fitto AI gives 5 free AI scans to start, keeps barcode scans free, and sells scans in one-time packs instead of a subscription. Cronometer, MyFitnessPal and Lose It! are free for manual logging, but put AI photo logging behind a paid plan.

Is there an AI calorie counter for Android with no subscription?

Fitto AI is the one on this list. New accounts get 5 free AI scans, then one-time credit packs pay for photo, voice and typed scans, one credit each. Credits never expire and nothing renews. Barcode scans never use a credit.

Do photo calorie apps work as well on Android as on iPhone?

The analysis runs on the app maker's servers, so the estimate is the same on both. What can differ is the rest of the app: some features arrive on iPhone first, and health sync goes through Health Connect or Google Fit on Android instead of Apple Health. Check the Android listing, not the iPhone one.

What is a good Cal AI alternative for Android?

It depends on why you are leaving. If it is the subscription, Fitto AI uses one-time credit packs and SnapCalorie has 3 free AI logs a day. If you want adaptive calorie targets, MacroFactor. If you want micronutrients, Cronometer. If you want the biggest food database, MyFitnessPal.

Best AI Calorie Tracker Apps for Android (2026)

By Samipan Bandyopadhyay, developer of Fitto AI

Written by Fitto AI’s developer. Fitto is one of the seven apps below, so read this with that in mind: every row comes from each app’s own Google Play listing or website, read on October 29, 2026, and each app gets the same treatment, including where it is the better pick.

“AI calorie tracker” now covers anything from a full photo-logging app to a traditional food diary with a camera button behind a paywall. On Android it also matters which features actually made it to the Android version, and what you pay through Google Play.

To make this list, an app’s own Google Play listing had to say it logs meals from a photo. That rules out apps that only call themselves “AI”. Seven made it. There are no star ratings or download counts below: they change weekly, and you can see them on each listing.

Fitto AI

Best for: logging meals from a photo without a subscription.

Fitto AI turns a photo of a meal, including restaurant and takeout food, into a list of foods with a portion, calories, protein, carbs and fat for each. You can also say what you ate or type it. If the reading is wrong, you can tell it what the food really is and it reads the photo again for free.

Free: the download, 5 AI scans for new accounts, barcode scans, one-tap re-logging of favourite meals, the AI coach chat, and streaks.
Paid: each photo, voice or typed scan uses 1 credit. On the US App Store, packs are 50 credits for $1.99, 150 for $2.99 and 500 for $5.99. Google Play prices are set locally and differ slightly. Credits never expire and nothing renews.
Worth knowing: Fitto is new on Google Play (October 2026) and small next to everything else here. It doesn’t sync with Health Connect yet. It needs Android 7.0 or later.

Cal AI

Best for: a polished photo-first app, if you’re happy to subscribe.

Cal AI is one of the best-known photo calorie apps. Its Play listing says it identifies meals from a photo, including packaged food and barcodes, and covers macros and goals for weight loss, muscle gain, keto and fasting. Its FAQ describes connecting to Google Fit on Android.

Free: a 3-day free trial, per its website.
Paid: a subscription. Its US App Store listing says scan results require one, and the Play listing doesn’t show prices before you install.
Worth knowing: read the trial terms before you start. In April 2026 Apple briefly pulled Cal AI from the App Store over how its subscription pricing and free-trial toggle were presented, as MacRumors reported. Cal AI fixed the issues and the app returned. The same report describes Cal AI as owned by MyFitnessPal.

SnapCalorie

Best for: the most free AI logging per day.

SnapCalorie logs from a photo or a voice note and reports calories, macros and 100+ nutrients. Its Play listing says it measures portions with your phone’s camera and checks foods against USDA data. It also has a nutrition label scanner for packaged food.

Free: up to 3 AI logs a day, per its FAQ.
Paid: a Premium subscription beyond that.
Worth knowing: its FAQ says health-app integration on Android is “currently in development”. Its listing points to the published Nutrition5k research as the basis for its portion estimates.

MyFitnessPal

Best for: the biggest food database, Wear OS, and a long history.

MyFitnessPal is the traditional food diary most people know. Basic logging is free. On Android, its listing puts meal scan (photo logging), voice logging and barcode scanning in Premium, with a free Premium trial. It has a Wear OS app.

Free: searching the food database and logging by hand.
Paid: Premium and Premium+ subscriptions. Premium+ adds meal planning.
Worth knowing: if you mostly eat packaged and chain-restaurant food you can search for by name, a large database can be quicker than a photo. Barcode scanning is not free here.

Lose It!

Best for: a structured weight-loss plan.

Lose It! builds a daily calorie budget and weight-loss schedule, and has added a GLP-1 medication tracker. Its listing names photo meal logging, AI voice logging and the barcode scanner as Premium plan features.

Free: calorie tracking, a weight-loss plan and community support.
Paid: Premium, which includes photo, voice and barcode logging and syncing with fitness apps such as Google Fit.
Worth knowing: the free version is a manual food diary. Nothing AI is in it.

Cronometer

Best for: micronutrients and Health Connect.

Cronometer tracks 90+ nutrients and compounds from a curated database of more than 1.1 million verified foods. Its Play listing says it syncs with Health Connect and Wear OS, and that barcode scanning is free.

Free: logging by search and barcode, with ads.
Paid: Gold, a subscription, which adds AI photo and voice logging, a fasting tracker and custom reports, and removes ads.
Worth knowing: it’s the most detailed tracker here. If vitamins and minerals matter to you more than speed, this is the one.

MacroFactor

Best for: calorie targets that adapt to your actual weight trend.

MacroFactor estimates how much you really burn from your food logs and weight trend, and adjusts your calorie and macro targets at a weekly check-in. Logging takes a photo, a description, speech, a barcode or a nutrition label.

Free: a 7-day trial. The listing says “there is no free tier”.
Paid: $11.99 a month, $47.99 for six months or $71.99 a year (US prices, per the listing).
Worth knowing: its listing calls the algorithm “adherence neutral”: a missed day breaks nothing. Fitto’s targets also recalibrate from weigh-ins, without a subscription, but MacroFactor’s coaching is the more developed of the two.

How to choose

Start with how you want to pay. Most of these apps are free to download and charge for the AI part. The choice is really between a subscription that renews until you cancel it, a daily free allowance (SnapCalorie), and paying per scan (Fitto).

A worked example: say you photograph three meals a day, which is about 90 scans a month.

On a subscription, the cost is the same whether you log every meal or none. MacroFactor’s annual plan works out at $6.00 a month.
On Fitto’s 500-credit pack ($5.99 on the US App Store), 90 scans cost about $1.08. On the 150-credit pack ($2.99), about $1.79. Barcode scans and re-logged favourites cost nothing, so the real figure is usually lower.
On SnapCalorie’s free tier, three AI logs a day costs nothing, and a fourth needs Premium.

Then check what is free, not just whether the app is. Barcode scanning is free in Fitto and Cronometer, and paid in MyFitnessPal and Lose It!.

Expect a photo to be an estimate. Every app here estimates portions from a picture, and mixed dishes, sauces and cooking oil are where estimates miss most. Our guide to how accurate AI photo calorie counters are covers why. A quick look at the result, and a correction when something is wrong, does more for your numbers than which app you pick. For meals out, see how to count calories when eating out.

Check the Android version itself. Health sync, watch apps and new features can differ between platforms. Everything above comes from the Android listings for that reason.
