After the first few weeks, you also get put into a group chat with other Noom users who are in a similar place in the program as you. With Noom, you get food logging, as well as daily readings about the psychology of weight loss. When I tested the app, my actual cost for the first six weeks ended up being only $20, and the renewal rate for the following month was $20, as well. Noom has a high list price-$59 per month plus a $20 starter fee-although the amount you pay could be significantly less. Price for Other Weight Loss AppsĬompared with other apps for weight loss and calorie counting, MyFitnessPal's price seems high for the monthly subscription and reasonable for the annual subscription. You also get exclusive content, like short motivational videos and workout examples. With a Premium account, you can export CSV files of your data. You can set different goals based on the day of the week and have customized calorie intake goals for each meal of the day. For example, you can choose to keep your calorie goal fixed despite how many calories you burn during activity.

It also lets you further customize the app. MyFitnessPal Premium eliminates advertisements and adds macronutrient and other nutritional information. It's also perfectly suited to helping people lose weight through calorie counting when they don't need the help of a program to be successful.

In my estimation, the free version of MyFitnessPal is ideally suited to helping someone maintain their weight after a weight loss program. You also don't get other nutritional content. You don't get macronutrient information, meaning the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins that you consume. With a free account, you can track food and calories, activity, weight, and a few other metrics.
