Ubod, an alternative to Lose It!

Ubod and Lose It! side by side

What the table says about Lose It! comes from its own website, help centre and store listings. Apps change: check Lose It!'s site for the latest.

What Ubod and Lose It! have in common

• A daily calorie budget with macro goals.
• Barcode scanning of packaged foods.
• Weight tracking over time.
• Sync with Apple Health and Health Connect.
• A free plan and a paid plan, on iPhone and Android.

What Ubod does differently

• Barcode scanning is free in Ubod. Lose It! says it is moving its barcode scanner (Scan It) into Premium.
• Ubod's free plan shows no third-party ads; Lose It!'s free plan shows ads unless you buy their removal.
• Ubod can log a meal from a photo of your plate on the free plan, a few times a day. Lose It!'s Snap It is for Premium members, with the phone set to English.
• Ubod is available in 23 languages, including Arabic, Italian, Dutch and Polish.
• Fanak, Ubod's fennec fox coach, answers your questions in the app and keeps your streak going.
• You can connect Ubod to ChatGPT or Claude and log a meal by talking to the assistant.

Where Lose It! may suit you better

• A one-time Lifetime purchase instead of a subscription.
• A larger food database: Lose It! states more than 50 million items.
• A full export of your data from the website, and food logging on the web.
• An intermittent fasting tracker (Premium) and an Apple Watch app. Ubod has neither.

Moving from Lose It! to Ubod

1. Write down your current calorie target, your macro targets and your weight in Lose It!.
2. Install Ubod and answer the first questions (goal, weight, height, activity): Ubod works out your daily targets, and you can change them at any time.
3. Log your usual foods again: scan their barcode, search for them or take a photo of your plate. Your recent foods then come back in one tap.
4. Connect Apple Health or Health Connect so your steps and workouts count towards the day.
5. Ubod cannot import a diary from Lose It!: your past entries stay in Lose It!, so export them there first if you want to keep a copy.
