Questions & answers
What is the difference between YAZIO and AI Calorie Count?
Both are German calorie counters with a free barcode scanner. YAZIO adds fasting plans, recipes and health insurer programs. AI Calorie Count focuses on fast logging by photo, text or voice, checked against the official BLS database and 193,000+ DACH products.
YAZIO or AI Calorie Count: what do I get for free?
Both free versions include manual entries and the barcode scanner, and photo logging is paid in both. YAZIO’s free version shows ads; AI Calorie Count has no ads, even for free.
Does AI Calorie Count understand Austrian and Swiss food names?
Yes. Text logging understands everyday terms such as Semmel, and products sold in Austria and Switzerland are part of the database.
Why do AI photo and text analysis cost money?
Every AI analysis has a running cost for us: your photo or text is sent through our server to OpenAI, and each request is billed to us. Because AI Calorie Count has no ads and no tracking, Premium covers that cost. Calorie tracking, food search, the barcode scanner and manual entries stay free.
