MyFitnessPal Discount Code: What Actually Lowers the Price

I found no public MyFitnessPal discount code on the company’s own pages, although its help center explains how a code is redeemed. I could check one saving: the annual plan costs a third of twelve monthly payments. A free trial shows up now and then, and in narrow cases an FSA or HSA can pay for Premium. The rest of this page covers the rules a code has to meet and the sums behind each saving.

Is There a MyFitnessPal Discount Code Right Now?

None I can confirm. The help center has an article on redeeming a promotional code. The terms of service have a section on discount, coupon and gift codes. So codes exist. A code printed for the public is what I could not find on any company page. I searched the help center, the blog and the Premium page, then read the terms and the membership guide from top to bottom.

A web search for the phrase turns up coupon aggregators too. I opened one whose listings had been updated on October 31. It showed a single code. Its last confirmed checkout test was in June, and the page itself said it had no recent proof that any MyFitnessPal code works. I’m not printing that code, because the page could not show it works either.

Under the terms, MyFitnessPal can cancel discounts and coupon promotions at any time, and an expired code can’t be extended or refunded.

Shopping apps that promise codes carry a separate risk. The FTC says shopping apps often ask for your name, address, phone number and email, and may log what you buy. Read the privacy policy before you install anything that promises a code.

Where Do You Enter a Code, and What Stops It Working?

On the website. The upgrade article says promotional codes are redeemed there and not in the apps. According to the redemption article, Premium then shows up in the iOS and Android apps once you log in with the same email and password. If Premium doesn’t appear on your phone, update the app, then sign out and back in. If the site rejects the code, the article suggests another browser or a private window.

The terms add four limits. A code works only on a first subscription to a Premium service, from an account that isn’t already subscribed. It can’t be combined with another sale, promotion or coupon, and it can’t be exchanged for cash. You may also have to add a payment method to redeem it. When a free or discounted period ends, you pay the regular price unless you cancel first, and the terms put that on you.

That first limit catches people who already pay. Say a code reaches you while you’re on the monthly plan. It won’t work today. The redemption article says to switch off renewal, wait out the paid period, then redeem. The order:

1. Find where you pay. On an iPhone, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, then MyFitnessPal. On Android, use Payments and subscriptions in the Play Store. On the website, use Subscription Settings.
2. Turn off auto-renewal there. The cancellation article warns that switching renewal off less than 24 hours ahead may not stop the charge, so do it a few days early.
3. Keep using Premium. Nothing is switched off until the paid period runs out.
4. Once it has ended, redeem the code on the website with the email you use in the app.

Cancel wherever you paid. A subscription bought through Apple ends in Apple’s settings, and the website can’t turn it off.

Why Do Coupon Pages Promise Two Thirds Off?

Those pages are pricing the annual plan against twelve monthly payments. That is a standing price, not a code.

I worked the sum on the US pair. The US App Store listing shows “MyFitnessPal Annual Premium” at $79.99 and “MyFitnessPal Monthly Premium” at $19.99. The membership guide gives the same two prices. Paying monthly for a year costs 12 × $19.99 = $239.88. The annual price is $79.99 ÷ $239.88 = 33.3% of that, so the saving is 66.7%. No code is involved. The coupon page I opened headlines 67% off. Both of its 67% items are titled as annual plans, one for Premium and one for Premium+.

The same sum on the other three storefronts gives about the same share. Each row pairs the highest monthly-named purchase with the highest annual-named one.

Storefront	Monthly price	12 monthly payments	Annual price	Annual as a share of 12 payments
US	$19.99	$239.88	$79.99	33%
UK	£15.99	£191.88	£64.99	34%
Canada	$27.99	$335.88	$114.99	34%
Australia	$29.99	$359.88	$129.99	36%

Each listing also carries a cheaper pair of purchases. In the US, “MyFitnessPal Monthly Premium” appears again at $9.99 and “MyFitnessPal Yearly Premium” at $49.99. That pair works out to 41.7% of twelve payments, a 58.3% saving. The same pairing in the UK, Canada and Australia lands at 42%, 42% and 44%. The Premium page agrees with the arithmetic. My copy, priced at €49.99 a year against €9.99 a month, carried a “58% savings over the Monthly Plan” label. The listing doesn’t say why a name carries two prices or which monthly goes with which annual. Read the price and period on the purchase screen before you confirm.

When does the annual plan actually win? Count the monthly plan up from one payment.

Months paid	Monthly plan total	Annual plan
1	$19.99	$79.99
3	$59.97	$79.99
4	$79.96	$79.99
5	$99.95	$79.99
12	$239.88	$79.99

At four months the monthly plan has cost three cents less than the annual price. At five it has cost $19.96 more. Three cents is thin. I’d be wary of anyone who says the annual plan always wins. It wins if you stay through month five and loses if you quit by month four. My rule would be to pay monthly, or use a trial, until you’ve logged through the fourth month. Then buy the annual plan when the monthly period runs out. What the features are worth is a separate question, and what MyFitnessPal Premium adds lists them.

Which Offers Can You Check Before You Pay?

Two routes show up on pages I could open. One I could not confirm.

Free trials come first. According to the membership guide, MyFitnessPal offers a free trial of Premium or Premium+ only on occasion, and length and availability depend on your account. The Premium page showed a “7 days, risk-free” pass when I opened it. My copy of the page was priced in euros, not dollars, so what you see depends on your country. The terms say you aren’t charged until the trial ends and that access continues unless you cancel before then. Once you cancel a trial you can’t resume it, even with days left, and two trials of a Premium service can’t run at once.

An FSA or HSA is the second route. It isn’t a discount at all. The company’s FSA and HSA article says you may be able to pay for Premium from one of those accounts. The catch is the condition: you must use the app in connection with treatment for a disease diagnosed by a physician. Truemed, a partner, decides eligibility and issues the letter of medical necessity if you qualify. If it turns you down, the article says Premium access still lasts 7 days from sign-up. It works on the website only, free trials aren’t available with this method, and an existing subscription has to be cancelled first. Whether you qualify is a question for your doctor and your plan administrator, not for a coupon page.

Last comes a student discount. I could not confirm it. MyFitnessPal’s own pages mention none. The coupon page I opened lists a student route through a verification service. That service’s page for MyFitnessPal showed offers from other brands when I opened it, and none from MyFitnessPal.

What Happens If You Subscribe and Change Your Mind?

You can cancel before renewal, but a refund isn’t promised. Whenever you cancel, Premium stays on until the paid period runs out, per the cancellation article. For App Store purchases the article says only Apple can handle cancellation or refund requests, because MyFitnessPal can’t see the payment.

The terms go further. Purchases of Premium services are final and non-refundable except at the company’s discretion, and store rules can limit refunds. Outside the US, you may be entitled to a full refund within 14 days of signing up.

That makes the annual plan the bigger bet. Mind the up-front cost. A wrong guess costs $79.99 up front, against $19.99 on the monthly plan. The App Store listing gives purchase names and prices but no billing terms, so do two things on purchase day. Screenshot the price and period on the purchase screen. Then set a calendar reminder two days before renewal, because a cancellation inside 24 hours may not stop the charge.

Should You Keep Paying, or Look at Something Else?

If the price is what bothers you, check what you’d lose on the basic version first. According to the company’s plan comparison, barcode scanning, Meal Scan and data export are Premium features. Is MyFitnessPal free goes through what a basic account keeps. If you decide to leave, what to check before you switch starts with your data, because the export is paid.

Calsa is a paid app too, so it won’t help if your aim is to pay nothing. If price isn’t your only complaint, the table shows one thing it does differently. Each number in the diary comes with its source, and an amount that isn’t confirmed is marked “estimate”. The table sets that against the category. It covers 15 calorie trackers sold in the US, UK, Canada and Australia, checked against their websites, help centers and App Store pages. I didn’t open any paid screens.

	In the category (of 15 apps, checked 8 Oct 2026)	Calsa
Source of each number	0 of 15 show the database source of every number; 9 show a check badge or a “checked by nutritionists” claim without it	every number shows its source and database release; an unconfirmed amount is marked “estimate”
Where Calsa is weaker		no free tier; no manual workout logging; no Apple Watch app; no meal plans or fasting; a smaller food database
Choose something else if		you want a free tier, a watch app, manual workout logging or a weekly meal plan

Starting from scratch? The checks in how to choose a calorie counter app work on any tracker, including the one you pay for now.

Before you hunt for a code, work out how many months you’ll keep logging. At five months or more the annual plan wins. No code needed. If you’re unsure, monthly or a trial leaves less money at risk. Whichever you pick, read the billing period on the purchase screen and set a renewal reminder.
