doublesDoubles vs MyFitnessPal.
Short answer
Pick MyFitnessPal if you want a free tracker, the biggest food database or an app on Android and the web. Pick Doubles if you'd rather say or snap what you ate than search for it, want one price that includes everything, and want a partner that remembers your days.

Where MyFitnessPal is the better pick
- It has a free version. Doubles doesn't.
- Its food database is far bigger (20.5M+ foods, including restaurant dishes), which helps if you weigh and search exact foods.
- It runs on Android and the web as well as iPhone.
- It connects to 40+ trackers and apps, and Premium+ adds meal planning.
- It has been around for years, with millions of ratings on the App Store.
Where Doubles is the better pick
- It costs less for everything: $69.99 a year or $12.99 a month, against $79.99 or $19.99 for MyFitnessPal Premium. Voice, photo and barcode logging are all included.
- Logging is built around saying or snapping food, not searching a database.
- Your calorie target stays fixed when you work out, so workouts never quietly eat your deficit.
- A partner remembers your plan and your recent days, so you can ask "what should I order here?" and get an answer that fits today.
- If you cancel, your journal stays readable and you can export it.
Who shouldn't use Doubles
- You're on Android or want to log on the web. Doubles is iPhone only for now.
- You want a free tracker. After the 7-day trial, Doubles is paid.
- You want to weigh and log every gram, or track lots of micronutrients. Doubles covers calories and protein first, plus carbs, fat and fiber.
- You want workout programming. Doubles reads your workouts but doesn't plan them.
- You're pregnant, have a medical condition or have a history of disordered eating. Talk to a professional first; a calorie tracker may not be right for you.
