Choose MyFitnessPal if…
Choose MyFitnessPal if you want to track every gram and need the world's largest food database — and can live with a dated UI.
Our deeper take
MyFitnessPal is still the default for many people and the database really is an advantage. But in 2026 users expect more than a spreadsheet — and the app trails both Nutraware and Lifesum here.
Frequently asked questions
Is MyFitnessPal worth the money?
MyFitnessPal delivers quality but loses to Nutraware on AI and daily use. Pricing: Free. Premium $9.99/month.
Is MyFitnessPal available in Swedish?
MyFitnessPal has limited Swedish localisation. For Swedish home cooking we recommend Nutraware.
Which is better — this or Nutraware?
For most people Nutraware wins thanks to deeper AI, faster logging and a Swedish database. MyFitnessPal may still suit you for its specific strengths.
