COMPARE

RightRep vs Yazio.
An honest look.

Yazio (YAZIO GmbH, founded 2011 out of a shared student flat at TU Ilmenau, bootstrapped ever since) is the calorie counter that led with intermittent fasting before fasting was a checkbox: a fasting clock with 20+ fasting plans — 16:8, 5:2, 6:1, OMAD — wrapped around a database of 4 million+ foods with a free barcode scanner, a water tracker and step sync, plus 2,900+ recipes with grocery lists and a step-by-step cooking mode, and AI logging by photo, text or voice that speaks Portuguese as fluently as English. Its homepage says "Trusted by 100M and counting", it ships 20 languages, it carries the fasting clock onto the Apple Watch and a dedicated Wear OS app, and its Brazilian listing — 4.83★ across 69,886 ratings, Nº 57 in Saúde e fitness — is fully localized, AI logging included. This page concedes all of it, price included: a 12-month PRO point at $23.90. What Yazio never does is watch: steps and workouts arrive as synced calorie credits (Fitbit and Garmin sync sit behind PRO), no camera has ever checked a squat, no rep has ever been counted, no run recorded. RightRep is the other half of fitness: photograph the plate and the AI estimates calories, per-item macros and drinks, then prop the phone against your water bottle and the same camera measures the set — 33 body landmarks per frame on the device, a 0–100 score for every completed repetition — with GPS runs and race-goal plans around it. Every Yazio claim on this page is cited to Yazio's own materials or named sources, and the places where Yazio clearly wins are listed as plainly as the rest.

The two products

What each one is, in its own words — before the side-by-side.

⏱️

Yazio

YAZIO GmbH's fasting-first food diary — "your all-in-one food, fitness and fasting tracker", founded 2011 in Ilmenau, German and bootstrapped to this day (Tracxn lists no external funding). The product is the combo: an "optional fasting tracker" with "flexible plans, including 16:8 and 5:2" and "helpful guidance on ketosis, autophagy and energy use" in the free tier, co-designed with the diary — a "food database with 4 million+ searchable items", a free barcode scanner, a water tracker and integrated step and activity tracking. AI food tracking runs by photo, text or voice — "just say out loud what you had to eat, or write a short text" — and the Brazilian listing markets the same in Portuguese ("registro por texto e voz"). Recipes with "smart grocery list" and "step-by-step cooking mode" sit in the kitchen loop; PRO adds personalized diet plans, Fitbit/Garmin sync and ad removal at a 12-month point of $23.90 US / R$ 89,90 BR (6-month BR R$ 79,90). 20 languages, Apple Watch + dedicated Wear OS apps, 50M+ Play installs at 4.8★ (866K reviews), an Android Excellence award and a #5 top-grossing Health & Fitness seat. On training it observes nothing: movement is an imported calorie credit.

📱

RightRep

A live form coach with the camera pointed at both halves of training: photograph a meal and the AI estimates the name, calories, per-item macros and any drinks — in every locale we ship, no database search, no separate camera tier — or type a description instead. Then prop the phone against your water bottle and the same camera stack watches the set: 33 body landmarks per frame measured on the device, faults flagged joint-by-joint, spoken cues mid-rep, a 0–100 score for every completed repetition. Around it: protein-first macro targets with an adaptive calorie goal, a weekly AI nutrition review, GPS run/walk recording, race-goal training plans, hydration logging and coach chat. Live form checks, GPS runs and training plans are free forever; the AI features — meal estimates included — come with the 7-day free trial every account starts with, then Pro at $9.99/month or $99.99/year.

Where RightRep wins

The honest case for our side — grounded in what the app does today.

🏋️

The movement half they never observe

In Yazio a workout is a credit — steps and activities synced in from trackers, with Fitbit and Garmin sync behind the PRO wall; no camera has ever checked a rep, and there is no GPS surface at all. RightRep measures the workout itself: 33 body landmarks per frame on the device, faults flagged joint-by-joint, a 0–100 score for every completed repetition, GPS run/walk recording and race-goal plans. One subscription covers the plate and the platform.

🥩

Macros and the adaptive goal, outside the paywall

Yazio's personalized diet plans sit in PRO. RightRep's targets are free and protein-first — grams from body weight inside the 1.6–1.8 g/kg band — and the adaptive calorie goal recomputes maintenance from your own logged energy balance instead of a static formula. Goal-setting is onboarding, not inventory.

🧠

A weekly review that knows what the training was

Yazio's analysis is of the diary — what you ate against what you planned. RightRep's weekly AI nutrition review reads seven days of meals, macros, hydration and weight plus the training sessions the app watched, because the camera counted the reps and the GPS recorded the kilometers. Nutrition advice that knows the workload is a different product.

🔓

An on-device posture and a free exit

Yazio's free diary contains advertising on both stores — the same monetization most of the category runs. RightRep runs live pose analysis on the device (live-check video is not uploaded), keeps ad surfaces away from the camera and summary moments, and the Apple Health / Health Connect export is free on every plan. Your training and food history should never be hostage to a subscription.

Where Yazio wins

The other side of the comparison — because a page that only praises one column is an ad.

The fasting combo, free, on both watches

More than 20 plans — 16:8, 14:10, 12:12, 5:2, 6:1, 1:1, OMAD — with timers, fast/meal reminders and plain-language guidance on ketosis and autophagy, in the free tier, carried onto the Apple Watch and a dedicated Wear OS app. It is Yazio's founding feature and a daily retention hook RightRep simply does not have: we ship no fasting clock, and this row is theirs, uncontested.

Twenty languages — and their AI speaks Portuguese

Yazio ships 20 locales with a fully pt-BR Brazilian listing, and — unlike every rival we have compared — its AI logging is marketed in Portuguese too: "registro por texto e voz — basta falar ou escrever o que comeu". With 4.83★ across 69,886 Brazilian ratings and Nº 57 in Saúde e fitness, it is the best-localized rival in our comparison set. RightRep ships six locales (en/es/hi/id/pt/tr); the count row is theirs, conceded with the numbers spelled out.

The disciplined price ladder

A 12-month PRO point at $23.90 in the US and a 6-month point at R$ 79,90 in Brazil, against our $99.99/year — entry pricing from a bootstrapped company that never had to price for a fund's return, undercutting MyFitnessPal's $79.99/year the same way. The number is theirs; our page's only answer is what the dollar includes — the training half, free-form-check tier included — not a cheaper tag.

The kitchen loop: recipes, grocery list, cooking mode

2,900+ goal-friendly recipes with new ones weekly, a smart grocery list for shopping and a step-by-step cooking mode for the stove — food as preparation, not just logging. Yazio treats the kitchen as a product surface; RightRep logs the plate and leaves the cooking to you. We don't ship recipes, and this row is honest about it.

The habit brand at 100M scale

"Trusted by 100M and counting" says the homepage (the android-app page says "over 95 million", the Brazilian Play listing "mais de 96 milhões" — the drift itself is the citation), on top of 50M+ Play installs, 4.8★ across 866K reviews, a #5 top-grossing Health & Fitness seat and a Google Play Android Excellence award. When someone says "fasting app", they mean Yazio. RightRep is a young app at field-test stage; we never claim scale.

Bootstrapped independence, fifteen years deep

Founded 2011 out of a TU Ilmenau shared flat, German to this day, no outside funding on record (Tracxn), a remote-first team behind a calm "build healthy habits you'll love to keep" voice — no Under Armour detour, no private-equity flip, no acquisition churn. Fifteen years of that is a brand posture money can't buy, and we respect it rather than caricature it.

The honest summary: a free fasting clock with twenty-plus plans, a four-million-food diary in twenty languages with the AI speaking Portuguese, and a kitchen loop attached, at $23.90 a year? That's Yazio, and it is genuinely the best at what it does. A camera that estimates the plate and then measures every rep of the workout, with macros and an adaptive goal free? That's the job RightRep does that Yazio deliberately doesn't try.

How RightRep's meal estimate works

What actually happens between "photograph the plate" and the day's totals.

🍽️

One photo, one honest estimate

The photo (downscaled) plus any text goes to the AI, which returns a name, an estimated calorie total, a per-item breakdown, approximate protein/carbs/fat for the portion, and any drinks it identified — each one a tap to log into the hydration history. The estimate is framed as guidance by an explicit AI-estimate disclaimer, not silently "authority-graded".

✏️

You keep the last word

The AI total is a guess about portion size, so a pencil action sits next to it — on the result card and on every saved meal — to correct the number, and the fix rewrites the row and syncs to your other devices. Day totals, charts and the weekly review all follow the corrected value, not the model's first attempt.

🎥

The same camera, gym floor

The meal photo and the form check are one stack, not two apps: the pose model that tracks 33 body landmarks per frame on the device scores every rep against readable rules — 46 bundled Position Profiles today, and Machine Scan drafts a new one from a photo of an unfamiliar machine. Nutrition that knows what the workout actually was — because the app watched it — is what the weekly AI nutrition review is built on.

Comparison questions

The questions people actually ask before choosing.

I want to count calories and do intermittent fasting — which one?

If fasting is the anchor of your routine, Yazio, honestly: the fasting clock with twenty-plus plans is its founding feature, it's free, and it runs on both watches. 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. On the macro-tracker bench between us: MyFitnessPal owns the deepest food database (20.5M foods), Cronometer goes deeper on micronutrients (95 nutrients, lab-verified foods), MacroFactor sells the adaptive-recommendation idea we ship free, and Lose It!/MyNetDiary round out the scanner-first crowd — each worth their own look if nutrition is your only axis.

Does RightRep have a fasting tracker?

No — and this page won't dress that up. RightRep ships hydration logging and meal timing on the plate it photographs, but no fasting clock, plans or timer exist in the product today; our public research ranks a simple fasting timer as the top nutrition-side backlog item, and until it ships, Yazio's clock has no answer from us. If intermittent fasting is half your routine, that half is Yazio's.

Does Yazio track workouts?

As calorie accounting, not training: steps and activities sync in via Health Connect/Google Fit (Fitbit and Garmin sync are PRO), and the diary credits the calories back. Nothing in the app observes movement — no camera, no rep counting, no form check, no GPS surface. 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.

What does each cost?

Yazio: free with ads (diary with search + barcode, fasting clock core plans, water, steps); PRO runs $23.90 for 12 months in the US App Store — with a $47.90 12-month point, 3 months at $23.99, a semi-annual at $34.99 and PRO points of $11.90/$29.99/$32.99 also surfacing, a scatter that reads as live price testing — while the BR ladder reads 6 meses R$ 79,90 · 12 meses R$ 89,90/R$ 214,90 · 3 meses R$ 89,99/R$ 150,00 with PRO points of R$ 47,90/59,90/64,90. 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?

Yazio is the #2 global food diary in Brazil, not a footnote: fully pt-BR including the AI text/voice logging, 4.83★ on 69,886 App Store Brasil ratings, Nº 57 in Saúde e fitness, priced in reais with a 6-month PRO point at R$ 79,90 — the best-localized rival we compare anywhere on this site. The honest local fight is "o relógio de jejum vs o treinamento completo": if the fasting clock and the diary in Portuguese are 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?

Yazio's free tier contains advertising on both stores ("Contains Advertising" iOS, "Contains ads" Play), and as a German company it operates under GDPR; its help center documents the tracker-sync surface under Profile → Automatic tracking. RightRep runs live pose analysis on the device — live-check video is not uploaded — prices once in public, and the Apple Health / Health Connect export is free for everyone. Both companies' store listings, linked below, are the full picture.
