A year of Prime ($77.99) costs less than a year of MyFitnessPal Premium ($79.99), and Premium doesn't include the Meal Planner.
What it's like to use Prime
Most apps stop at logging. Prime goes further: you track today, get next week planned and order the groceries.
Log food three ways
Snap a photo of your plate, scan a barcode, or just say what you ate. All three are part of Prime's macro tracking, and so are daily scores.
Get next week planned, then order the groceries
Prime's AI plans your week of meals, then turns that plan into a grocery order you check out on Instacart.
Ask Dash, who knows how you eat
Dash, Prime's AI nutrition coach, already knows your preferences and what you've logged. Out for dinner and can't decide? Send Dash a photo of the menu, and you'll get two or three dishes that fit your goals, with rough macros.
Keep your food and your workouts in one app
Prime handles the food. Your workouts come from a challenge, a workout program led by a creator you love, and Prime gives you 20% cash back on every challenge you buy.

What switching from MyFitnessPal takes
On Reddit, u/Feredis put the worry this way: "My only annoyance with moving apps is that I have my logged weight from 2019 in MFP and I'd like to have the graph in the future too".
So export your data before you cancel. MyFitnessPal's export is for Premium and Premium+ subscribers: it emails your nutrition, progress and exercise data as spreadsheet (CSV) files. On the free plan, you can still print a report or share your diary.
Solin doesn't import from MyFitnessPal or other trackers, so your log in Prime starts fresh. Begin by scanning the foods you eat most: the oats, the yogurt, the protein bar in your bag. It's a quick way to get your regulars back in.
Questions about switching from MyFitnessPal
Is the MyFitnessPal barcode scanner free?
No. MyFitnessPal's barcode scanner needs Premium, and it works only in the iOS and Android apps, not on the website.
Do I have to join a challenge to use Prime?
No. Prime works on its own, and you can join a challenge whenever you're ready.
Where do I log food with Prime?
In the Solin app on iPhone and Android, where your meal plan and Dash live too.
Want the food side planned for you?
Next week's meals, planned, in the same app as your workouts. Prime comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
