Choose Lose It! if…
Beginners who want a gentle on-ramp to calorie tracking. Lose It! is the app we hand to someone who has never tracked before. The onboarding is gentle, the design is friendly, and the price is fair. It will not satisfy data hawks, but as a confidence-building first tracker it does its job well.

Keto, low-carb and carb-conscious eaters. If you eat keto or low-carb, Carb Manager is purpose-built for you: net carbs front and centre, ketogenic ratios visualized, and one of the strongest meal-planning toolsets in the category. Outside a low-carb context it is more app than most people need.
