Comparison
Fat Track vs Yazio
In short
Yazio is a polished mobile app built around meal plans and recipes. Fat Track is a bot inside a messenger built around photo logging, with home workouts in the same subscription. Yazio suits people who want a plan to follow; Fat Track suits people whose problem is the logging itself.
Yazio is one of the most polished calorie trackers on mobile, with meal plans, recipes and a well-designed diary.
Fat Track approaches the same job from the messenger side: no installation, a photo instead of a search, and training in the same place as the food.

Table
Side by side, criterion by criterion
| Criterion | Fat TrackTelegram and MAX bot + web app | YazioiOS, Android |
|---|---|---|
| How you log a meal | Yes: Photo, text or voice; a database search is the fallback, not the main path. | Partly: Database search and barcodes; AI features depend on the plan and region. |
| Getting started | Yes: Works inside Telegram or MAX — nothing to install to start. | Partly: Install the app and create an account first. |
| Meal plans and recipes | Partly: Recipes live on the Russian site; the language versions focus on the diary and workouts. | Yes: Meal plans and a large recipe library are a core part of the product. |
| Workouts | Yes: 13 programmes and 67 exercises, with rep counting on the device. | Partly: Activity logging and integrations rather than guided home programmes. |
| Correcting an entry | Yes: Corrections in plain words: «no oil, about 250 g». | Partly: Edit the fields of the chosen item. |
| Ads inside the diary | Yes: One paid plan, no advertising and no upsells inside the diary. | Partly: The free tier is limited; the paid plan opens the rest. |

The real difference
What changes when the tracker lives in a chat
Yazio asks you to open an app and pick items. Fat Track asks you to send a photo to a chat you already have open. For people who log reliably, that difference is cosmetic; for people who stop logging by week two, it is the whole game.
- No installation and no separate account to start.
- A photo, a sentence or a voice note instead of a search.
- Home workouts and the food diary in one subscription.
Be fair
Where Yazio is stronger
- Meal plans: if you want to be told what to eat, Yazio is built for that and Fat Track is not.
- A large, well-presented recipe library inside the app.
- A polished native mobile experience with years of design work behind it.

FAQ
Questions
Does Fat Track have meal plans?
No. It gives you targets and an honest picture of the day rather than telling you what to eat.
Is there a free version?
There is a full-access trial with no card, then a single subscription with no ads and no feature paywalls inside.
Can I use Fat Track without installing anything?
Yes — that is the point. The bot works inside Telegram or MAX, and the web app opens in any browser.
