Best Alternative to Yazio in 2026
Yazio appeals with its sleek interface and European approach to nutritional tracking. But as soon as you push a little, you hit the paywall — and the app remains a classic tracker, without real intelligence.
The Limitations of Yazio
The best features are behind a paywall
Meal planning, grocery lists, detailed analytics: practically everything that makes Yazio interesting requires the Pro subscription. The free version is just basic calorie tracking — which any app can do.
No Recipe Adaptation
Yazio offers recipes in its premium version, but they are fixed. You can't adjust them to your daily macros, dietary restrictions, or what you have in the fridge. You take the recipe as-is or you move on.
Ads in the Free Version
Like most freemium trackers, the free version of Yazio is punctuated by ads. They are less aggressive than some competitors, but present in every session.

Why FoodCraft is the Ideal Alternative to Yazio
Your recipes, adapted to your macros
Where Yazio offers fixed recipes, FoodCraft adapts every recipe to your profile. Calories, protein, carbs: the AI adjusts quantities and ingredients so the dish perfectly matches your goals.
Free and Ad-Free
The essentials of FoodCraft — including recipe adaptation and macro tracking — are available for free, without ads. Premium adds the AI coach and unlimited planning, but the base is already more comprehensive than Yazio Pro.
Spark Vision: From dish to recipe
Take a photo of a dish and get recipes tailored to your nutritional profile. This feature has no equivalent in Yazio.
Verdict
Yazio is an effective tracker with a beautiful interface. If your goal is limited to calorie counting, it does the job. But if you want your app to help you cook better — not just count better — FoodCraft brings a dimension that Yazio doesn't have.
