Our call: YAZIO
YAZIO wins this match-up narrowly, for its strong European grocery coverage and its pairing of calorie counting with intermittent fasting. Lifesum is the better choice if you want a ready-made diet plan to follow and value a clean, colourful design.

The short answer
YAZIO and Lifesum are the two best-known European food trackers in our field, and both have friendly designs and free versions with a diary and barcode scanner. They differ in their central idea. YAZIO pairs calorie counting with intermittent fasting and is particularly strong on European supermarket products. Lifesum builds ready-made diet plans, from high-protein to Mediterranean and keto, on top of its diary. We give YAZIO the narrow win for its grocery coverage, which matters every day.
The central idea
YAZIO is often chosen by people who want their eating window and their food log in one place. It also has a recipe library with nutrition information.
Lifesum asks you to choose a plan, and its targets and suggestions follow that plan. For people who find a blank calorie budget hard to fill, that framework makes the first weeks easier.
Plans and price
Both keep much of what makes them distinctive in the paid tier: many of YAZIO’s plans, recipes and analysis features are part of PRO, and most of Lifesum’s plans and recipe features are part of Premium. Both price by country, so check the store listing where you live.
Who should choose which
- Choose YAZIO if you shop mostly in European supermarkets or want fasting and counting together.
- Choose Lifesum if you want a diet plan to follow and value design.
