Ubod, an alternative to Yazio

Ubod and Yazio side by side

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

What Ubod and Yazio have in common

• A food diary with daily calorie and macro goals.
• A barcode scanner on the free plan.
• Recipes with their nutrition values.
• Apple Health and Health Connect.
• A free plan and a paid subscription, on iPhone and Android.

What Ubod does differently

• Ubod can log a meal from a photo of your plate on the free plan, a few times a day. Yazio's AI food tracking was free at launch and is now part of Yazio Pro.
• Ubod's free plan shows no third-party ads; Yazio removes ads with Pro.
• Ubod writes your meals to Health Connect on Android, and reads your steps and workouts from it. Yazio's Health Connect sync only goes into Yazio.
• Reference foods in Ubod come from Ciqual, the French food composition table published by ANSES, next to branded products from Open Food Facts.
• 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 Yazio may suit you better

• Intermittent fasting: Yazio has about twenty fasting trackers, with 16:8 on the free plan and the others with Pro. Ubod has no fasting tracker.
• A larger recipe collection: Yazio lists more than 2,900 recipes, with Pro.
• More device connections with Pro (Samsung Health, Fitbit, Garmin, Polar) and an Apple Watch app. Ubod only syncs through Apple Health and Health Connect.
• A larger food database: Yazio states more than 4 million items.

Moving from Yazio to Ubod

1. Write down your current calorie target, your macro targets and your weight in Yazio.
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 Yazio: your past entries stay in Yazio, so export them there first if you want to keep a copy.
