So most of us do not feel that the advantages are sufficient to make us shell out $50 a year-and we don't!īut for others the $50 could be a rounding error. other premium features that didn't interest me enough to stick in my brain but may be of interest to someone else.Īnd let's not forget the weird motivation of some people being more likely to use something they pay for. the feeling of helping a product that has helped you achieve your goals achieve the business goal of accruing value for the owners of the platform. goal setting options such as macro minimums in grams instead of percentages that may make it easier for people to achieve their goals is open to discussion! But the premium version offering is, truly, much better than what you get with the free version. Whether the paid retention/exporting is industry leading. longer data retention and better data exporting Since I consider blogs to be ads, let's call it REDUCED ads instead of NO ads.īUT, since the ads are so **kitten** vetted with past firewall/dns checking indicating AT LEAST some malware/problem site issues and substantial data usage, reduced ads = INCREASED SECURITY! I do not subscribe to premium though I did do the trial a while back.įurthermore, due to the changed retention/export policies I now log my food intake elsewhere. One thing: is there something you really need from Premium? I've been here since I think 2014 and never needed a premium functionality. To get the most out of the app, you'll have to go with the Premium version.I would guess that Apple or Android want to earn from that subscription as well as in-phone prices tend to be higher than website prices overall.

The free version of the app is essential, just a calorie counter, with limited functionality. MyFitnessPal Premium charges $9.99 per month for access to the platform, and you get a one-month free trial. It's challenging to justify the extra money for the premium version unless you're a fitness enthusiast. When it comes to the premium version, MyFitnessPal is the more expensive option of the two. Cronometer also runs a Professional version, retailing for $24.99 per month. When you upgrade, you get additional features, including priority support, linked accounts, and advanced analysis and trends. The Gold version costs $5.99 per month, or you can pay upfront for a year and get a discount. However, if you want to unlock the app's full power, you'll need to upgrade to Cronometer Gold. Cronometer offers you a free version that's functional and useful for tracking your calories and macros.
