The receipts
What a month of food logging actually costs
Real NZD prices, July 2026, per month of active use.
| App | Per month | AI photo logging | Auto-renews? |
|---|---|---|---|
| SnapKai — Year Pass | $2.92 one-off purchase | Unlimited (fair use) | Never |
| SnapKai — Regular pack | $4.00 one-off purchase | Included | Never |
| Lose It! Premium | $5.33 | Subscription only | Yes |

Competitor prices are annual-plan rates in NZD as at July 2026; MyFitnessPal is $32.99/month if you pay month-to-month. Every one of them locks AI photo logging behind an auto-renewing subscription — MyFitnessPal even paywalls the barcode scanner. SnapKai prices assume the Regular pack (300 credits ≈ $9.99 lasting ~2.5 months of daily photo logging) or the $34.99 Year Pass across 12 months.
