Affiliate Disclosure — Best Calorie Counter App

Last updated: May 18, 2026

Best Calorie Counter App is an independent editorial buyer's guide. This page exists to disclose, plainly, the financial relationships that may exist between this site and the apps we cover.

1. App-store affiliate links.
   Some links to mobile apps on this site go through Apple's App Store or Google Play affiliate programs. If a reader clicks one of those links and subsequently downloads or purchases an app, this site may receive a small commission. The commission amount is set by the app store, not by the app developer, and never determines our rankings. The same Premium-tier app receives the same ranking position whether it produces commission revenue for this site or not.

2. No direct affiliate relationships with app developers.
   We do not have direct affiliate, advisory, equity, or paid-placement relationships with the developers of PlateLens, MacroFactor, Cronometer, MyFitnessPal, Lose It!, or any other app covered on this site.

3. No sponsored content or advertorial.
   We do not publish sponsored content, advertorial, or paid placement. We do not accept review units, branded campaigns, or any form of compensation in exchange for editorial coverage.

4. Editorial independence.
   Our rankings are produced by the editorial team according to the published methodology at /methodology/. Rankings are not subject to review or pre-publication approval by any of the apps we cover. Medical claims are reviewed by our medical reviewer, Dr. Aisha Bemba, RDN, before publication.

5. Senior reviewer prior affiliation.
   Daniel Voss, our senior reviewer, was a volunteer community moderator on the MyFitnessPal forums from 2018 through 2021. He has no current relationship with MyFitnessPal, Under Armour, or any current owner of the product. This is disclosed in his byline on every MyFitnessPal-adjacent review.
