AlisLog vs MacroFactor

The same idea about goals.
Under a thirdof the price.

MacroFactor's best idea is that your calorie target should be measured from your own data, not guessed by a formula. It's right, and AlisLog does the same thing. The difference is that MacroFactor has no free tier and costs $71.99 a year.

Where MacroFactor
is better.

If any of these is what you're paying for, it's worth the money and you should stay.

01 The coaching model is deeper Diet phases, refeeds, planned maintenance breaks, an expenditure algorithm with years of iteration and a research team behind it. AlisLog measures your expenditure honestly; it does not try to be your coach.
02 Logging speed is the benchmark MacroFactor's add-flow is the fastest in the category and it's not an accident. AlisLog is close and getting closer, but credit where it's due.
03 Android, and a track record AlisLog is iPhone only and new. MacroFactor has years of shipped updates and a large, satisfied user base. That's worth something real.

What switchingactuallylooks like.

01
Your history does not come with you
There is no MacroFactor importer. Export your data there first if you want to keep it. Weight history is the part people miss most, and re-entering a year of weigh-ins takes a few minutes.
02
Expect a fortnight of recalibration
Any measured-expenditure system needs data before it can measure anything. AlisLog gives you a formula estimate on day one and replaces it with your real number as intake and weight accumulate — the same trade MacroFactor makes.
03
You can stop paying and keep tracking
This is the actual structural difference. If you cancel MacroFactor you lose the app. If you cancel AlisLog you keep logging, macros, barcode scanning and all your history — you just lose unlimited AI logging, adaptive goals and household sync.
