Yazio or FatSecret: modern design versus veteran community
Yazio bets on a sleek design and a premium experience. FatSecret plays the community and free-use card. Two approaches to food tracking, two philosophies — and complementary strengths.

Yazio in detail
Strengths
Elegant and modern interface. Good coverage of European products. Integrated recipes in the Premium version. Pleasant visual reports. Intermittent fasting tracking.
Weaknesses
Most useful features are behind a paywall. Ads in the free version. No AI or recipe adaptation. Free version is quite limited.
FatSecret in detail
Strengths
Generous free version. Available in multiple languages. Active community with recipe sharing. Comprehensive food diary. Available since 2007 — time-tested.
Weaknesses
Dated interface that lacks modernity. Constant ads. No AI features. No meal planning. Design hasn't evolved much.
What if neither was enough?
Yazio and FatSecret are food diaries — one stylish, the other community-based. But both remain passive: you enter your meals, and the app calculates. FoodCraft flips the model: the AI adapts recipes to your needs before you cook. Proactive instead of reactive.
The AI that anticipates your needs
Instead of counting after the fact, FoodCraft adapts every recipe to your nutritional goals. You cook exactly what you need from the start.
Free, beautiful, and ad-free
FoodCraft combines FatSecret's free access, Yazio's sleek design, and an absence of advertising. The best of both worlds.
Smart meal planning
Neither Yazio nor FatSecret offers AI planning. FoodCraft generates a week of meals calibrated to your macros.
Verdict
Choose Yazio if you value aesthetics and are willing to pay for Premium. Choose FatSecret if you want a free tracker with an active community. Choose FoodCraft if you want to go beyond a food diary: recipe adaptation, AI planning, and smart cooking.
The best of both, without compromise
Sleek design, comprehensive free version, zero ads, plus AI. FoodCraft combines it all.
