When to choose Lifesum over Renzy
Lifesum is one of the best-designed apps in the category and there is no point pretending otherwise: the interface is pleasant and the guided programmes — keto, high protein, multi-week challenges — are well built for people who want to be told what to do each day. If what you want is a structured plan to start with, and completing a programme motivates you, it has a clear offer 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 breaks the day you eat something that was not in the plan — which is most days. We do not hand you a programme: we hand you a daily target calculated from your data and the fastest way to know whether you are hitting it, even when today was lunch at your mother's. No ads, priced in euros, with a web app. 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?
Renzy, because the path is a photo. In a catalogue app you have to find every ingredient and adjust the amount; with a cooked dish that is several minutes and several decisions.
Is there a web version?
Yes. Renzy runs on iOS, Android and as a web app in the browser, with nothing to install. You can scan from your phone and review the week from a computer.
