17 Fit Compare apps
Calorie counters side by side
Twelve apps and the same questions for each: what the free plan does, what takes a subscription, whether you have to sign up, whether there are ads, and where it runs. We make 17 Fit, so we kept to facts anyone can check on each maker’s own pages.
At a glance
“Free” means on the free plan, “Paid” with a subscription only. Where a free feature has a daily limit, the table says how many.

How we compared
Every fact about another app comes from its maker’s website and help pages and from its App Store listing, read on 26 October 2026. Where a maker doesn’t say, the table says “Not stated” instead of guessing. The languages are the ones each app’s App Store listing names.
We make 17 Fit, and its column is its own plans and features. We left out what can’t be checked the same way for everyone: prices, which differ by country, star ratings and how accurate each app’s photo recognition is.
