A factual side-by-side from the makers of BodyDex. Updated July 2026.
BodyDex is an AI-first nutrition tracker with peptide and protocol tracking built in, on-device data storage, and no ads. MyFitnessPal has the largest user-contributed food database in the category and is the long-standing default. If you want AI photo logging, free macros, and protocol tracking, BodyDex is a strong fit. If you need an unmatched food database, MyFitnessPal is still the safer pick. Both run on iOS and Android.

BPC-157 cycles, GLP-1 doses, supplement schedules, peptide compound libraries — first-class data types in BodyDex, with supply & refill forecasting, reconstitution math, and injection-site rotation, stored on your device. MyFitnessPal's new GLP-1 Support (April 2026) tracks GLP-1 medications only — no peptides, other medications, or supplement protocols.
BodyDex identifies multiple foods in one photo and lets you correct any item before logging — a Premium feature at $9.99/mo. MyFitnessPal's Meal Scan photo logging sits behind its $19.99/mo Premium tier.
Your food logs, weight history, recipes, and protocols live on your device. There is no BodyDex server holding a database of what you ate this morning.
Custom protein, carb, and fat goals are part of the free tier. MyFitnessPal puts custom macro goals behind their $19.99/month Premium plan — the free tier keeps only default daily totals.
It depends on what you use MyFitnessPal for. BodyDex keeps custom macro targets and peptide / supplement protocols on the free tier (free covers up to 2 active protocols per category; Premium is unlimited) — MyFitnessPal puts custom macro goals behind a $19.99/mo Premium gate, keeping only default daily totals free — and offers multi-item AI photo logging in a $9.99/mo Premium tier, half MyFitnessPal Premium's price. If you rely on MyFitnessPal's user-contributed food database for obscure restaurant items, MyFitnessPal still has the larger catalog. Both apps run on iOS and Android.
BodyDex Premium is $9.99/month versus MyFitnessPal Premium at $19.99/month — roughly half the price. Some features that require Premium in MyFitnessPal, like custom macro goals, are free in BodyDex. Both apps now include an AI coach in their paid tiers: MyFitnessPal's AI Coach launched in June 2026 for Premium and Premium+ subscribers (in the iOS app only, in English, across the US, UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand), while BodyDex's coach is grounded in your own on-device logs and included at the $9.99/month tier.
Yes — as of April 2026, MyFitnessPal's GLP-1 Support tracks medication type, dose, injection site, and side effects, with customizable dose reminders shown alongside your food log. It's free for all US users. The difference is scope and storage: it's GLP-1-specific and lives in your MyFitnessPal cloud account. BodyDex tracks peptides, all medications, and supplements — with supply and refill forecasting, reconstitution math, protocol scheduling, and injection-site rotation — stored locally on your device.
Direct import isn't available today. MyFitnessPal lets you export your food log as CSV from their website; we're evaluating a native importer for that format. If this matters to you, contact us via bodydex.app/support and we'll prioritize based on demand.
Yes. BodyDex launched on iOS in April 2026 and is now live on Google Play too, free to download with the same features and $9.99/month Premium pricing on both platforms.
All your food logs, weight, recipes, and protocol data are stored locally on your device — there is no centralized BodyDex database of user food entries. AI scanning sends the photo to our server only for analysis; the photo isn't saved to your food log or used to train anyone's model. We never sell or share your data.
Free on iOS and Android. No credit card to start.
