Lifesum
When to choose Lifesum over Renzy
Lifesum has a clear offer for people who want to be told what to eat: its App Store listing talks about nutrition plans made for you and lifestyles such as keto, paleo or high protein. If what you want is a structured plan to start with, and following one motivates you, it has something there that we do not try to match.
The verdict
Lifesum sells structure; Renzy sells logging speed. A guided programme works while you follow it and wobbles the day you eat something that was not in the plan. We do not hand you a programme: we hand you a daily target calculated from your data and a quick way to know whether you are hitting it, even when today was lunch at your mother's. No ads, and in the browser too. If you need to be led by the hand, Lifesum. If you need frictionless logging, Renzy.
FAQ
Does Renzy have guided diet plans?
No, and that is deliberate. We give you your daily calorie and macro target calculated from your profile, plus the tools to hit it with what you actually eat. A closed plan gets abandoned the moment life goes off script.
Which is faster for logging a meal?
We have not timed it against Lifesum, which also logs from a photo according to its listing. In Renzy the photo is the main way in: the analysis takes about 20 seconds and you correct the portion if needed. Try both with one of your own dishes and time it.
Is there a web version?
Yes, with one catch: you create the account in the iPhone or Android app, and after that you can also sign in from a browser. You can scan from your phone and review the week from a computer.
Log what you eat with a photo
