Where Adra wins
-
The photo analysis stays on the phone.
Recognition runs on the device. There is no upload and no cloud profile of your meals.
-
No account at all.
Yazio advertises starting without sign-up. Adra goes further. No account exists, not even an optional one.
-
One payment instead of a yearly renewal.
No auto-renewal and no trial that quietly becomes a 12-month plan.
-
It works offline.
The AI and the whole food catalog live on the phone. The only online moment is an optional barcode lookup.
-
No ads, ever.
Not in the free tier, not in the paid one. Your diary is not an advertising surface.
-
The Play label says No data collected.
Yazio's label lists shared Location, Personal info, and Device IDs. The two labels speak for themselves.
The math
Yazio Pro is a subscription that renews. The number changes with country and offer, so check their checkout for today's price. Whatever it is this year, it returns next year.
Adra is one payment of €34.99, and the free version needs no payment at all. The full three-year comparison is on the no-subscription page. The wider field of trackers is in the alternatives table.
What to expect
Adra does not plan meals for you and it does not track fasting. It counts what you eat, privately.
Photo macros are estimates. A picture cannot weigh a plate, and you confirm every value.
If you want recipes, meal plans, and a fitness community, Yazio is a good home. If you want your food data to stay on your phone, Adra is built for you.
