Comparison
Yazio alternatives: what you lose and what you gain
What you lose when you leave Yazio is largely one feature: intermittent fasting tracking. It is one of the deepest implementations in the category and none of the alternatives below matches it. If a fasting protocol matters to you, staying may well be the right answer; if it does not, the alternatives go further in other directions.
What you leave behind when you leave Yazio
Tracking an intermittent fasting protocol (16:8, 5:2) inside the app itself. One of the deepest implementations in the category.
The alternatives
Most people looking for a Yazio alternative want either micronutrient depth or plan generation - things Yazio is not weak at so much as not focused on. If that is what you are after, the four options below may help.
Alphabetical order. Not a ranking and not a winners' list - Cookrange sits in its alphabetical position and is not moved up.
Cookrange
Who it suits: People who want the weekly plan regenerated on demand rather than following a fixed sheet; who want a grocery item logged by barcode in seconds; and who want to stay motivated alongside gym friends. Logging, plans, streak tracking and progress history are on the free tier; AI generation is capped at 2 runs a day.
Cookrange's limits: Pre-launch (v0.9.6 internal alpha), not in the app stores. No micronutrient tracking, no wearable integration, no browsable recipe library, no fasting tracking.
Cronometer
Cronometer tracks 80+ nutrients using lab-verified USDA/NCCDB data and lets you chart blood-test results over time — a precision-nutrition, biohacking-adjacent tool. Cookrange ties a daily calorie/macro target to an AI-generated plan and builds a gym/squad social layer into the app, but doesn't match Cronometer's micronutrient depth today.
Who it suits: Tracking a specific vitamin or mineral, or correlating blood panel results with intake over time. Over 80 nutrients against lab-verified USDA/NCCDB data.
Where Cookrange is weaker: Micronutrient depth. Cookrange tracks four core macros and does not match Cronometer's vitamin and mineral tracking today; there is no blood-panel feature at all.

Lifesum
Lifesum is a Scandinavian-origin nutrition app: you pick one of 15+ structured, pre-built diet plans (keto, Mediterranean, and others) and follow it. Cookrange instead generates a personal plan from scratch with AI, based on your own profile and constraints, rather than having you choose from a menu of pre-built templates.
Who it suits: Following a named diet framework such as keto or Mediterranean as designed. You pick one of more than 15 structured, pre-built plans.
Where Cookrange is weaker: The pre-built plan library. Cookrange generates a plan from your profile rather than offering a catalogue of named frameworks to pick from.

MyFitnessPal
MyFitnessPal is an established calorie-counting app with a large, global, largely user-submitted food database. Cookrange focuses on barcode-based logging via Open Food Facts, on-demand plan regeneration, and a built-in gym/squad social layer.
Who it suits: People shopping US-centric products who want a mature ecosystem. Its global food database depth is the category's reference point.
Where Cookrange is weaker: Global database depth and ecosystem maturity. Cookrange is pre-launch, with no integrations and no third-party ecosystem.

How this list was put together
Alphabetical order, Cookrange included. Not a ranking. Each entry says who that app suits and where Cookrange is weaker on the same point - we list our own gaps too, because an alternatives list is only useful if it does. Prices are deliberately absent: competitor pricing changes without notice, and a stale price is worse than no price.
