Lifesum: diet plans wrapped around a calorie counter
Sells structure rather than tracking: keto, high protein, Mediterranean. 150,574 ratings at 4.6.
Lifesum counts calories like the rest, but sells something different: a plan to follow. Keto, high protein, Mediterranean, sugar reduction — each with recipes, targets and a weekly verdict.

Who this suits
People who do not want to decide what to eat. Deciding is the part most tracking apps leave to you, and it is the part that exhausts people first.
What to be careful about
Named diets are marketing as much as nutrition. The app will happily set you up on keto without asking whether it suits you, and the weekly assessments are encouragement rather than medical advice.

The subscription is the product. Free logging exists, but the plans — the actual reason to install Lifesum — are paid.
If you only want a number at the end of the day, Cronometer is more accurate and YAZIO is faster.
