SnapCalorie

SnapCalorie is an AI-powered calorie and nutrition tracker built around photo-based food logging, founded by former Google AI researchers who previously co-founded Google Lens and the Cloud Vision API.

## Core Capabilities

**Single-Photo Nutrition Logging** Take a photo of a meal and the app identifies the food and calculates calories and nutrition in seconds, replacing manual search-and-log workflows used by most calorie trackers.

**Packaged Food Label Scanning** A nutrition label scanner handles packaged foods directly, complementing the photo-based logging for prepared meals.

**Large Verified Food Database** Backed by a 500,000+ food database cross-checked against USDA data, with computer vision the company claims is roughly twice as accurate as manual nutritionist estimation.

**Hands-Free and Connected Logging** Supports voice-command logging for hands-free use while cooking, plus Apple HealthKit integration to sync with other health tracking.

## Positioning Competes with Lifesum, MyFitnessPal, and Cronometer (all in this catalog) in nutrition tracking, differentiated by leading with computer-vision photo logging validated against the Nutrition5k research dataset (5,000 dishes with every ingredient individually weighed) rather than manual food-diary entry.

## Pricing Freemium — core photo logging is free with no credit card required; SnapCalorie Premium (€89.99/year) adds unlimited meal logging and personalized AI nutritionist tips. Backed by Y Combinator; over 100,000 users.
