Radish vs Foodllama: which one in 2026?
In short
Yes, on price and disclosed data: Radish's core (diary, scan, Nutri-Score, recipes) is free, no account required, while Foodllama gates AI photo analysis behind a subscription.
Foodllama's pitch is AI photo recognition to log a meal in one shot. Radish's pitch is sourced data and a diary that stays with you. Here's an honest comparison on five criteria: privacy, price, counting without a connection, Nutri-Score and data quality — every figure dated and sourced.
Privacy: what each app's own Apple listing says
Radish requires no account: your diary stays on your phone, never sent to our servers (except AI or barcode scanning, if you use them). Barcode scanning (Open Food Facts) and the optional AI assistant, when you trigger them, send something out; anonymised usage statistics are also sent to Google (in the EU, only if you agree). On Apple's "App Privacy" card for Foodllama (App Store, checked 31 Aug 2026), the only category ticked is "Data Not Linked to You" (user content, usage data, diagnostics) — no "data used to track you" category. The publisher's privacy policy (Llama Luna Apps Inc, official PDF, checked 31 Aug 2026) states that data read from Apple Health is not shared with third parties and is never sold or leased. Whether an account is required is not documented on the public materials reviewed.
Price: really free?
Foodllama is a free download with in-app purchases: on its App Store listing (checked 31 Aug 2026), the tiers shown are Weekly $4.99, Monthly $8.99 and Annual between $11.99 and $29.99 depending on the offer (US prices, not converted). With Radish, the core is free — scan, Nutri-Score, diary, recipes — and an optional, much cheaper one-time Pro purchase only unlocks advanced features.

Foodllama's public description, centered on AI photo recognition, does not mention an offline mode — not documented on the materials reviewed. With Radish, logging works without a connection: only barcode scanning and the optional AI need one. Anonymised usage statistics are also sent to Google (in the EU, only if you agree); your diary, foods and weight never are.
Data quality and Nutri-Score
Foodllama's listing highlights a proprietary "Health Benefit" score and Apple Health sync, without detailing a reference table or micronutrients — not documented on public materials. Radish relies on sourced data (CIQUAL/USDA) with 11 vitamins and minerals, and shows the Nutri-Score (A to E) when the data allows; whether Foodllama shows a Nutri-Score is not documented on its official pages.

FAQ
Does Foodllama require a subscription?
The download is free; the Weekly/Monthly/Annual tiers seen on the App Store (checked 31 Aug 2026) suggest full use goes through an in-app purchase. The exact scope of the free tier isn't documented on the public listing.
Does Foodllama show a Nutri-Score?
Not documented: its official pages describe a proprietary "Health Benefit" score, with no reference to the Nutri-Score.
Does Radish work without an account?
Yes, no account is required. Your diary stays on your phone — never sent to our servers (except AI or barcode scanning, if you use them). One exception, which you trigger yourself: AI meal analysis sends the meal's text or photo to our provider, after your explicit and revocable consent.
What about iPhone?
Yes. Radish is on the App Store (iPhone and iPad) and on Google Play (Android). The page nutri-track.fr/app sends you straight to your device's store.
If you want AI photo recognition as the central feature, Foodllama is built around that. But if you want to count calories without an account, with sourced data and a Nutri-Score when the data allows, Radish is built for that. Try it free: nutri-track.fr.
General information, not medical advice. Radish is not affiliated with Foodllama or its publisher (Llama Luna Apps Inc); figures checked 31 Aug 2026 on official pages (App Store, publisher privacy policy) — subject to change.
