Compare Kriterion
Five comparisons, one for each app people actually weigh us against. Every one of them says plainly what the other app is built around and where we differ.
The short version. Kriterion works out your maintenance calories from what you actually
logged and what the scales actually did, tells you how confident it is in that figure, and then
checks afterwards whether it was right. It carries UK supermarket and high-street food, a full
training log, and no advertising anywhere. What it charges for is the measured-burn layer, not
the daily logging.
Before any of it, the receipts. Every app on this page claims accuracy, and none of
those claims can be checked by the person reading them. Ours can: we publish the whole
accuracy benchmark, every scenario and every number, and how close it gets
on each one. Read how we test the engine.
Kriterion vs MacroFactor
The other measured-TDEE app
What they are known for. A calorie target worked out from your logged results rather than assumed.
Where we differ. Ours states a margin of error and grades its own past predictions against your results. Theirs shows a point value.

Kriterion vs MyFitnessPal
The one everybody has already tried
What they are known for. A very widely used food logger with a database anyone can add to.
Where we differ. A database that large is large because anyone can add to it. Ours badges every entry by how its numbers were produced, and carries no advertising.

Kriterion vs Nutracheck
The UK incumbent
What they are known for. A UK database built over years. Kriterion’s UK entries are badged by source.
Where we differ. The difference is not the food data. It is whether your calorie target is measured from your own results or picked from an activity dropdown at signup.

Kriterion vs Cronometer
The nutrient tracker
What they are known for. Curated nutrient data. Kriterion marks how many nutrients were actually measured for each food.
Where we differ. Ours tells you where each figure came from, what your burn rate actually is, and what happens on the days you eat out.

Kriterion vs Hevy
The lifting log
What they are known for. A training log with a free tier and a paid upgrade.
Where we differ. They have to charge for the logger because the logger is the whole product. We do not, so more of ours is free and the subscription buys something they do not sell.

How these are written. Every claim about our own app is checked against its source code
before it goes on the page, and every claim about theirs is either from their own published
material or left out. Where we could not verify something, it is not here. If you find one of
these unfair, or out of date because they have shipped something since, tell us and we will
fix the page.
