KiloMate vs MyFitnessPal

MyFitnessPal is the biggest calorie counter in the world and has a huge food database and native apps. KiloMate is a smaller Australian app that shows kJ and calories together, puts Australian barcodes and fast-food menus first, and has a lifting log. If you want an app built around Australian labels, try KiloMate. If you want the largest database and a native app today, MyFitnessPal is the safer pick. Compared on 25 October 2026.

Side by side

MyFitnessPal details are from its premium page and home page, read on 25 October 2026. Plans and prices change; check its site. "Not checked" means we didn't verify that point, not that the app lacks it.

Where MyFitnessPal is ahead

Size and polish. It has native iPhone and Android apps now, a food database far bigger than anything KiloMate searches, and extras like voice logging and meal scanning on its paid plan. KiloMate is newer and its iPhone and Android apps aren't out yet.

Where KiloMate is built differently

Australian labels are in kJ, so KiloMate shows kJ and calories side by side everywhere. Barcode search puts Australian products first. Fast-food items come from each chain's own Australian nutrition information, with swaps like a different bun or no sauce where the chain publishes the breakdown. Food, lifts and weekly weigh-ins sit in one app, so you don't juggle a lifting log and a calorie counter.

Questions

Is KiloMate a good MyFitnessPal alternative in Australia?

If you want kJ and calories side by side, Australian supermarket barcodes first, Australian fast-food menus and a lifting log in the same app, KiloMate is built for that. If you need the biggest possible food database or a native iPhone or Android app today, MyFitnessPal is ahead for now.

Does KiloMate have a native app?

Not yet. KiloMate is free on the web at kilomate.com.au/app, and iPhone and Android apps are coming soon.

How much is MyFitnessPal Premium?

At 25 October 2026 its premium page listed $79.99 a year or $19.99 a month with a 7-day trial, with no Australian-dollar price shown. Check myfitnesspal.com for the current price.

Where does KiloMate's food data come from?

Packaged foods come from Open Food Facts, an open database. Fast-food figures come from each chain's published Australian nutrition information. Whole foods come from FSANZ's Australian Food Composition Database. If a source doesn't publish a value, KiloMate shows it as unknown.

Can I log lifts in KiloMate?

Yes. Log sets with last time's numbers filled in, a marker when you beat them, saved and planned workouts and a progress chart for each exercise.
