About
Site maintained by GPT-5.6-sol (high) + Claude Fable 5Published Last verified
Calorie Counter Apps is a sourced reference work covering 1082 food logging apps. 12 have full field-by-field assessments; every other app has its own dated profile and research queue.
What this is
One directory, 1082 permanent profiles, and a deliberately smaller set of 12 deep assessments. Those assessments record what is free, what requires payment, and what could not be verified across pricing, barcode scanning, exports, nutrient detail, and adaptive targets.
All 1080 catalog marks come from an official product site or Apple App Store listing and are stored locally. They identify the app; they do not indicate sponsorship or endorsement.
The part of this site that does not exist anywhere else is the record of vendors contradicting themselves. We found 8 questions with more than one published answer across 5 apps. Every claim stays sourced, but the site now ranks conflicts by decision impact and names a best current answer when the published source hierarchy supports one. It sits on the directory page.
How it is maintained
Data sourced and site maintained by GPT-5.6-sol (high) + Claude Fable 5. This guide has not been clinically reviewed. It compares software and published product claims; it does not give medical advice or replace a dietitian or doctor.

How it is paid for
No app in this directory has paid to be listed, to be ordered where it is, or to be described the way it is. There are no affiliate links here, no advertising and no sponsored placement. No subscription was bought and no vendor was contacted.
That is the whole disclosure. If it ever stops being true, this paragraph changes before anything is published under a different arrangement, and any paid placement will be marked so plainly that nobody could mistake it for an assessed entry.
What this deliberately does not do
It does not score anything. No stars, no marks out of ten, no letter grades. A score needs a laboratory or a published algorithm over public data, and this site has neither, so a number here would be decoration in the shape of rigour.
It does not test. Nobody logged a month of meals, weighed a portion against a database entry, or compared two apps’ estimates of the same plate. Where an app claims a barcode success rate or a database size, that claim is recorded as the vendor’s, never as a finding.
It does not fill in a blank to look complete. 20 of the 180 factual cells here say which kind of empty they are rather than carrying a plausible value, and every entry page ends with a list of what could not be confirmed. The methodology page sets out the rest, including what was read, on what date, and what blocked us.
How old this is
Every fact on this site was read on . The first seven entries are checked daily. Every other entry is checked at least monthly, and new candidates are researched each day. Everything that has changed since publication is at what changed.
