Is Foodvisor Free? Photo Logging, Cost and Limits

Foodvisor is free to download, and the free version covers barcode scans, manual logging, goals and weight entries. Photo analysis, full recipes and daily courses need Premium. The US App Store lists ten purchase rows from $14.99 to $89.99. I read the Foodvisor terms, its Help Center and four storefronts to see where free ends.

Is Foodvisor free to download and use?

The terms of use say free access comes in exchange for the information needed to create your account, and that the app and its general features are free of charge, available by download.

Premium is where the coaching sits: all recipes, daily courses, articles with meal examples, custom macro ratios, calorie targets, detailed food information and summaries with advice. A Sport & Meal Pack is a separate one-time purchase.

Feature	Free	Premium
Barcode scan and manual entry	Yes	Yes
Goals and weight log	Yes	Yes
Activity from Apple Health or by hand	Yes	Yes
Recipes	A limited selection	All
Photo analysis	See next section	Yes
Daily nutrition courses and articles	No	Yes
Custom macro ratios and calorie targets	No	Yes
Detailed food information	No	Yes

I built the table from the terms and the Help Center. Plans change faster than documents do, so open the app’s own paywall before you rely on it. One more free item is social: an optional friends feature, off until you send or accept an invitation link.

Is photo logging in Foodvisor free?

No, according to the Help Center. The article called “Is Foodvisor free?” lists meal analysis with photos among the Premium features. The terms don’t mention photo analysis in either list. The US App Store listing describes photo, voice, typed and barcode logging without naming a plan. The store’s Premium list names “Full meal analysis: vitamins, minerals, micronutrients”, which reads as nutrient detail rather than photo recognition. I’m going with the Help Center here, since that article exists to answer exactly this question.

The terms say you can subscribe from the meal photo screen, the Quick Add screen or when you validate a meal, so the paywall can appear in the middle of an entry. The app itself stayed closed on my side. To test any photo logger, photograph a meal you can weigh, then compare the grams the app suggests with the scale. Without a way to edit the portion, the calories are a rough guess. With one, the photo mainly saves typing. The same plate test applies to Calo app alternative candidates, and Cal AI vs MyFitnessPal compares a photo-first app with one built on search.

How much does Foodvisor cost?

It depends on the row. The rows are hard to read. Each storefront shows ten in-app purchases, and the names mix plan lengths with words like “trial” and “bundle”. I read all four pages.

Storefront	Lowest of ten rows	Highest of ten rows	Rows with “trial” in the name
United States	$14.99 (“1 month of Foodvisor”)	$89.99 (“3 months of Foodvisor”)	2, at $59.99 and $71.99
United Kingdom	£11.99 (“Foodvisor Premium”)	£59.99 (“Foodvisor Premium trial”)	1, at £59.99
Canada	$9.49 (“1 month subscription light”)	$76.99 (“Foodvisor Premium Trial”)	2, at $74.99 and $76.99
Australia	$14.99 (“Foodvisor Premium”)	$124.99 (“3 months of Foodvisor”)	1, at $88.99

Do the division. A US row named “3 months of Foodvisor” at $89.99 is $30.00 a month, and one at $59.99 is $20.00 a month. The US rows named “1 month of Foodvisor” run from $14.99 to $39.99. So two prices for the same period can differ by $25.00.

No page I read explains why a purchase named “trial” costs money. The terms say prices are the ones shown in the app or on the website, in local currency, with taxes included. You can subscribe through the App Store, Google Play or the website, and website purchases take a credit card only. The store text says the in-app subscription is billed monthly, which doesn’t match the three-month rows. I can’t reconcile them from the pages. At the paywall I look for two things, the billing period and the total, and I’d hold off on any screen that shows neither. For a yardstick, MyNetDiary vs MyFitnessPal sets a tracker that puts the scanner and voice logging in its free tier against one that doesn’t. How to choose a calorie counter app lists the other checks.

How do you cancel Foodvisor, and can you get a refund?

Cancel where you bought. The terms send Apple buyers to App Store settings, Android buyers to Google Play and website buyers to their Foodvisor account page. Deleting the app or your account doesn’t cancel the subscription.

There are two routes to a refund and one rule against it. The first route is a 14-day right of withdrawal under local consumer law. The second is a “Satisfied or Refunded” offer within 30 days, if you meet its conditions, which include finishing the Level 4 classes in the Coach section. Ending a subscription early earns no refund from Foodvisor. If you’re weighing a move, Foodvisor vs Calsa lines the two apps up row by row.

Where does Calsa differ from Foodvisor, and who should pick Foodvisor?

Everything above about Foodvisor comes from its terms, Help Center and App Store pages, and I never opened its paid screens. Calsa publishes this blog. Check the table against those pages, not just my word.

	Foodvisor	Calsa
Starting point	A version at no cost with a limited feature set	Paid from the start, with price, trial length and cancel path shown before any question
Photo logging	Premium, per the Help Center	In every plan: names the foods, suggests grams, and you confirm the portion
Oil and dressing	Not described in the pages I read	Get a line of their own in a photo entry
Games	Daily quests and a growing seed	No streaks, badges or mascot
Community	Optional friends feature	None: no public profiles and no messages between users
Cancelling	In the store you used	The same way you subscribed, with no screen trying to talk you out of it

Where Calsa is weaker: Foodvisor’s version at no cost covers scanning and manual entry, while Calsa is paid from the start. It has no community, no fasting tracker, no program of daily lessons, no manual workout entry, no watch app and a smaller food database.

Choose something else if you want daily lessons, a fasting tracker, a social feed or a version at no cost.

I’d log one meal both ways, by photo and on the scale, and compare the two entries.

Calsa names the foods in a photo and suggests grams, you confirm the portion, and oil and dressing get a line of their own.
