What Premium vs Free Looks Like Now

• Free: Basic calorie logging (manual entry only), weight tracking, limited food database search
• Premium ($19.99/mo or $79.99/yr): Barcode scanner, macro goals, food analysis, meal plans, ad-free, nutrient breakdown

The barcode scanner alone is why most people pay. It used to be free. Now it costs $240/year on the monthly plan. That's absurd for a feature that reads a UPC code.

Before You Cancel: Export Your Data

1. Go to Settings → Account → Export Data (web only)
2. Select date range — export food diary, exercise, weight
3. Download as CSV — can import into other apps

Free Alternatives (All Have Barcode Scanning)

• Cronometer (free tier): Tracks 82 micronutrients, barcode scanning, macro goals — the best free nutrition tracker. Period.
• MacroFactor ($72/yr): Not free, but AI-driven calorie targets that adapt to your actual metabolism — smarter than any other tracker
• Samsung Health: Free, built-in barcode scanner, syncs with Samsung wearables
• LoseIt (free tier): Barcode scanning, macro tracking — the closest MFP free tier replacement
• FatSecret: Free, large food database, barcode scanning, meal planning
• USDA FoodData Central: Free government nutrition database — no app needed, just search online

The Data Breach Context

In 2018, MyFitnessPal suffered a data breach affecting 150 million accounts (emails, usernames, hashed passwords). In 2022, the stolen data was sold on dark web markets. If you've used MFP since before 2018:

• Change your password immediately (and anywhere you reused it)
• Enable two-factor authentication
• Consider deleting your account entirely after exporting data
