Lifesum or Yazio? An honest comparison for 2026
Both are European, both are mature, and both now log by photo. Yazio wins on fasting, Lifesum on design and meal plans. Neither holds a real feature lead.
The two at a glance
Lifesum comes from Sweden, Yazio from Germany. Both have more than ten million downloads, both a free tier and a subscription. The days when calorie apps differed by input method are over: photo, voice, text and barcode are all listed in Lifesum's description now.
When Lifesum is the better pick
If handling matters to you. Lifesum is widely seen as the visually tidier of the two and leans on meal plans and motivation.
When Yazio is the better pick
If you fast intermittently. The fasting tracker is the one point where the two clearly diverge. Yazio is also traditionally strong on German supermarket products.
And if neither fits?
Both apps above cover one side each. If you want training and nutrition in one app, you otherwise end up with two subscriptions and two histories that know nothing about each other. That is where GymLog AI comes in: sets, meals and an AI coach in one chat, by text, voice or photo. Permanently free tier, data on EU servers, iOS and Android.
