Is Calorie Calculator really free?

Yes! 100% free with NO subscription required - ever. All core features including AI food recognition are completely free. Our mission: healthy living should be available to all people, regardless of their financial situation.

Will you add a subscription in the future?

No. We're committed to keeping Calorie Calculator free forever. As AI costs continue to drop, we'll make the app even better while staying completely free. Healthy living shouldn't be a luxury - it's a fundamental right that everyone deserves access to.

How accurate is the AI food recognition?

Our AI powered by Google Gemini achieves 85%+ accuracy on common foods. For best results, take clear photos in good lighting. You can always manually adjust the AI's estimates.

What happens to my food photos?

When you use AI recognition, your photo is sent to Google Gemini for analysis, then immediately discarded. Neither we nor Google permanently store your food images. The AI only returns nutritional data (calories, macros), which is saved locally on your device. Manual food entry doesn't send photos anywhere.
