How we rank
Kostapp is an independent editorial team. We test apps for twelve weeks, we never take payment for placement, and we publish our model so you can interrogate every number.
Our testing process
12 weeks
Every app is used daily by at least five writers for at least twelve weeks.
40 testers
Results are validated by a wider group of 40 users with different goals and backgrounds.
Dietitian reviewed
Our recommendations are fact-checked by a registered dietitian before publishing.
Real-world use
We log a typical Swedish breakfast, a restaurant dinner and a training day — and measure friction.
Our 100-point model
All apps are scored on the same four dimensions. The 100-point total is rendered as /10 on reviews.
| Dimension | What we measure | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| AI quality | How well the AI understands you, remembers your patterns, and suggests relevant adjustments. | 35 % |
| Logging speed & database | How fast a typical meal can be logged, and how complete the database is (especially for Swedish foods). | 30 % |
| Design & tone | Mobile-first, readable, warm tone — or shame-y? | 20 % |
| Price & free tier | What you actually get without paying, and whether premium is worth it. | 15 % |
