The questions people actually ask before choosing.
I want a macro coach — which one?
If what you want is the pure nutrition algorithm — expenditure solved from your own intake and weight, targets recomputed weekly, the method documented in public — MacroFactor is the benchmark, honestly, and this page says so above. RightRep is for the person whose other half is the problem: photograph the plate instead of searching it, then have the same app watch and score the workout, with an adaptive calorie goal reading both. On the macro-tracker bench between us: MyFitnessPal owns the 20.5M-food scale, Yazio ships the fasting clock free with AI logging in Portuguese, FatSecret carries the best Brazilian store score (4.87★), Cronometer goes deepest on micronutrients and Lose It! is the original counter — each worth their own look if nutrition is your only axis.
How does food logging differ?
MacroFactor logs five ways — AI photo, barcode, nutrition-label scan, speech-to-text and recipe import from URL — over "more than 1.36 million verified food entries," and markets itself as "The fastest food logger in the world" (their claim, quoted as marketing, not measured here). RightRep's photo is the logging verb, typing the fallback: the AI returns the name, calories, per-item macros and drinks directly, in every locale we ship. We have no barcode scanner today — barcode-to-label auto-fill sits in our public research backlog, un-built — and their barcode coverage is honestly documented as "excellent" in nine countries that do not include Brazil, with the label scanner as the fallback elsewhere. If packaged-food scanning is your routine, that row is theirs.
Does MacroFactor track workouts?
Manually, in a second app: MacroFactor Workouts (2026-01-12, iOS 18+ floor) is typed set logging with "rule-based logic, not generative AI" auto-progression, 900+ exercises and 600+ three-camera-angle demo videos by Jeff Nippard — a separate subscription at the same $11.99/$47.99/$71.99 ladder, with a bundle as the bridge and an integration that shares only body metrics, scale weight, progress photos and select habits ("no shared coaching features yet"). Nothing in either app observes movement — no camera, no rep counting, no GPS. RightRep's whole first half is that measurement: 33 body landmarks per frame on the device, a 0–100 score per completed rep, GPS run/walk recording and race-goal plans, in the same subscription as the nutrition.
What does each cost?
MacroFactor: a 7-day free trial of the full product, then $11.99/mo · $47.99/6-mo · $71.99/yr — an effective $5.99/mo on the annual, which beats our $8.33/mo and is conceded here plainly — while the live IAP list tests $9.99 monthly, $59.99 annual and an $89.99 "Annual Subscription Bundle" variant, and Workouts carries the same ladder again as a second subscription. BR points: R$ 49,90/R$ 61,90/R$ 66,90 monthly · R$ 264,90 semiannual · R$ 399,90 annual · R$ 599,90 bundle — the scatter is live price testing, so this page pins the vantage (2026-09-30) and never averages. RightRep: live form checks (10/day), GPS runs, training plans, history and the exercise library free forever; the AI features — meal estimates (10/day), the weekly review, coach chat — come with the 7-day free trial every account starts with, then Pro at $9.99/month or $99.99/year (cloud sync, ad-free, extra custom profiles).
I'm in Brazil — which one?
MacroFactor sells in reais but ships no Portuguese: the app and both store listings are English and Japanese only, the BR App Store description is the US text verbatim, reviewers ask for the language ("Wish it had Brazilian portuguese"), barcode coverage is "excellent" in nine countries that do not include Brazil, and the footprint is 102 BR ratings at 4.75★ against 22,704 US at 4.84★ (iTunes lookup, 2026-09-30). The honest local fight is "o algoritmo que não fala português vs o treinamento observado que fala": if the explained nutrition algorithm in English is what you want, it's theirs; if you want the camera that estimates the plate in pt-BR and then scores every rep of the treino, RightRep ships all of it in Portuguese — photo estimates, spoken cues, plans, the web app — with no region gates on any feature.
Who sees my data?
MacroFactor's stance is the cleanest in the family and we concede it wholesale: "We will never serve ads or use ad networks to track you," "Data is private and will never be sold," free in-app Quick and Granular spreadsheet exports, documented deletion, no chat or community surface to police. RightRep runs live pose analysis on the device — live-check video is not uploaded — prices once in public, keeps ads off the camera and summary surfaces entirely (and out of the app entirely until the trial ends), and the Apple Health / Health Connect export is free for everyone. Both companies' own pages, linked below, are the full picture.
