# Mouve vs YAZIO

Canonical page: https://mouve.it/compare/mouve-vs-yazio
Checked: 5 Nov 2026. We make Mouve, so read this knowing that.

## The short answer

Both companies are in the EU. YAZIO is a focused calorie counter with iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch apps. Mouve adds workouts, a social feed and an MCP connector, and has no ads.

## Feature by feature

| Feature | Mouve | YAZIO |

| Photo food scan | Partly. Free accounts get 5 AI photo scans per rolling 24 hours; Mouve+ is unlimited. Search and barcode stay free after that. Results are estimates. (own product, reviewed 2026-11-05) | Yes. The homepage says "AI photo tracking"; the page does not say which plan includes it. (https://www.yazio.com/en checked 2026-11-05) |
| Barcode scan | Yes. (own product, reviewed 2026-11-05) | Yes. Listed in the main feature list and the homepage; the Pro list does not include it, but no page says which plan has it.

## Where YAZIO is better

- Is published by a company based in Germany, which matters if you want an EU-based vendor. Mouve is also an EU company (Estonia). (source: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yazio.android)
- Has an Apple Watch app. (source: https://apps.apple.com/ee/app/ai-calorie-counter-by-yazio/id946099227)
- Photo food scan: Yes YAZIO: The homepage says "AI photo tracking"; the page does not say which plan includes it. Mouve: partly. Free accounts get 5 AI photo scans per rolling 24 hours; Mouve+ is unlimited. Search and barcode stay free after that. Results are estimates. (source: https://www.yazio.com/en)
- Apple Watch app: Yes YAZIO: The listing shows an Apple Watch version requiring watchOS 9.0. Mouve: not yet. A watch app exists in the repository (apps/watch-ios) but is not embedded in the shipped iPhone app. The iOS project has no watch target, so it is not counted as a feature.

## Who should pick which

Pick YAZIO if:
- You want a mainstream calorie counter from a German company with iPhone and Apple Watch apps.
- You do not need training or social features in the same app.

Pick Mouve if:
- You want food logging, workouts and a social feed in one app instead of three.
- You want your data exportable and an AI assistant you can connect to your own account.

## Pricing

### Mouve

- Mouve is free to use, with 5 AI photo scans per rolling 24 hours. Mouve+ prices are on mouve.it/pricing; Google Play and App Store prices are higher because the stores take a cut. A 7-day trial is offered when eligible. (source: https://mouve.it/pricing, checked 5 Nov 2026)

### YAZIO

- App Store subscription list: "12 Months" at €39.99 (Estonia storefront) and US$47.90 (US storefront). The in-app purchase list shows other price points (Estonia €9.99 to €39.99; US US$11.90 to US$47.90) without plan labels, so check the current price in the app. (source: https://apps.apple.com/ee/app/ai-calorie-counter-by-yazio/id946099227 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ai-calorie-tracker-by-yazio/id946099227, checked 5 Nov 2026)

## Switching from YAZIO

Mouve has no importer for YAZIO files yet, so you start a fresh diary. You can keep logging in YAZIO for a week while you try Mouve; nothing in Mouve deletes your YAZIO account. Your Mouve data can be exported at any time as a ZIP with JSON (Settings).
