Lose It!
Why switch from Lose It!?

Data you can check
Lose It! records and tracks your day; in Renzy foods are verified against BEDCA and USDA.
When to choose Lose It! over Renzy
Lose It! is simple, has been around a long time, and its coverage of US products is very good. Its real strength is the challenges and the community side: for a lot of people, competing with others is what turns logging into a habit. If you live in the United States, buy American brands and a weekly leaderboard motivates you, it has a concrete advantage there that has nothing to do with scanning technology.
The verdict
The most practical difference is geographic. Lose It! is built for an American supermarket and a user paying in dollars; we are built for a European one paying in euros, eating dishes that rarely appear in a US catalogue, and wanting the app in their language with content written in that language rather than half-translated. Add photo scanning on every tier and zero ads. If your pantry is American, Lose It! will find your barcodes. If it is from this side, here you do not depend on the product existing in a database.
FAQ
Which works better outside the United States?
Renzy, for two reasons: prices are in euros with no conversion, and scanning does not depend on the dish being catalogued in a US database. If it is in the photo, it gets estimated.
Does Renzy have challenges or a social side?
Yes. There are streaks and achievements for the habit side, plus a weekly leaderboard among friends in the social section — you invite whoever you want, you do not compete against strangers. The difference from Lose It! is not whether it exists, it is the scale: here it is your circle, not a global ranking.
What languages is Renzy available in?
Spanish, English, French and German, with original content written in each — tools, blog and food pages, not just translated buttons.
