Yazio Review (2026): Budget European Tracker with an Integrated Fasting Timer
Yazio bundles calorie tracking with an intermittent-fasting timer at a budget-friendly $5.99/mo. Strong European food coverage; no photo-AI.
Yazio scores 6.8/10 in the 2026 Calorie Tracker Index. The product's distinctive features are strong European food database coverage, an integrated intermittent-fasting timer, and an aggressive $5.99/mo Pro price point. The honest gaps: no photo-AI, no adaptive TDEE, thinner micronutrient panel than category leaders. For European users on a budget who want IF integration in the same app, Yazio is a reasonable fit; users prioritizing accuracy or AI features should look elsewhere.
Score breakdown
Pros
- Integrated intermittent-fasting timer — useful for users running 16:8, 18:6, or OMAD protocols
- Strong European food database — German, French, Dutch staples well-represented
- Pro tier at $5.99/mo is among the cheapest in the category
- Recipe library is well-curated, with clear macro breakdowns
- Clean, minimal UI with low feature-creep
Cons
- No photo-AI capability
- No adaptive TDEE algorithm — static targets
- Micronutrient panel is thin — macros + headline vitamins only
- Database is materially smaller than MyFitnessPal (US restaurant coverage especially)
Best for
European users, intermittent fasting users on a budget
Not ideal for
Users who need photo-AI accuracy or adaptive TDEE targeting
Verdict
Yazio is a pragmatic budget tracker that wins on one specific axis: the bundled IF timer. For users running intermittent fasting protocols who would otherwise carry a separate timer app (Zero, Fastic), having the fasting window integrated with the calorie tracker is a real UX improvement. The Pro tier at $5.99/mo is genuinely cheap. Where Yazio loses ground is on the modern axes — no photo-AI, no adaptive TDEE, thinner micronutrient depth than Cronometer or PlateLens. For a beginner IF user on a tight budget, Yazio is a sensible choice. For users optimizing on accuracy or AI features, the recommendation moves to PlateLens or Cronometer.
Frequently asked questions
Is Yazio better than MyFitnessPal for fasting users?
On fasting UX specifically, yes — the integrated timer beats running MFP plus a separate fasting app. On database breadth and ecosystem, MFP still wins.
Is the $5.99/mo Pro worth it?
For users who would benefit from the meal plans and the unlocked recipe library, yes. For users who only need basic tracking, the free tier suffices.
How does Yazio compare to Foodvisor?
Similar European positioning. Foodvisor has photo-AI (at ±16.2% accuracy); Yazio does not. Yazio has the fasting timer; Foodvisor does not. Pick on which feature matters more.
Does Yazio have an adaptive TDEE algorithm?
No. Targets are set at onboarding and stay static unless manually adjusted. For adaptive TDEE, see MacroFactor or PlateLens.
