Yazio alternative: Renzy vs Yazio
Both count calories and both accept photos. In Renzy the photo is the centre: photograph your plate and get calories, macros and micronutrients.
Yazio
Why switch from Yazio?
Ads in the free version
The ad-free experience and several key features sit behind PRO. Renzy never shows ads.
Photo scanning is an add-on, not the core
In Yazio the photo is one more route, alongside manual search and barcodes; in Renzy it IS the app: snap a photo and you're done.
When to choose Yazio over Renzy
Yazio does two things well and it is worth saying so: a broad recipe catalogue inside the app itself, and intermittent fasting logging integrated with the food diary. If you cook from the app's recipes and want the calories logged automatically when you pick one, that saves steps. If your day is "pick a recipe, cook it, log it", Yazio fits.
The verdict
Yazio revolves around its catalogue: more than 2,900 recipes, built-in fasting, and photo and barcode as ways to log. Renzy revolves around a photo of what is already in front of you. They are two different approaches serving different people: the first fits if you plan, the second if you improvise. We put AI scanning at the centre, zero ads, four languages with their own content in each, and a free public fasting calculator you can use without signing up. If you live inside a recipe book, Yazio. If you eat whatever turns up and want it logged with one photo, Renzy.
FAQ
Does Renzy track intermittent fasting?
We have a free, public intermittent fasting calculator that gives you your eating window for the protocol you pick, with no account needed. You can try it before deciding anything.
Which is better for Spanish food?
We have not measured it against Yazio, so we will not tell you which one is more accurate. What we do: values for common foods are checked against BEDCA, the Spanish database, and USDA, and if the dish is in the photo it gets estimated even if it is in no catalogue.
Does Renzy show ads?
Renzy has no ads on any tier, neither during the trial nor on Pro. It is a product decision: the app does not sell your attention or your data to third parties.
