AI Calorie Tracker Apps: 27 Verified, Top Earns ~$46k MRR, Median $185
Snap a photo of your lunch, get the calories. It's one of the biggest AI app categories, and one of the most lopsided.
We found 27 AI calorie and nutrition tracking apps with revenue verified on TrustMRR. The median makes just $185 a month, below the directory-wide $300 (study). But 7 make $1,000 or more, and the top three make over $18,000 each. Few winners, many small apps.
The big three

- AI Meal-Photo Calorie Tracker (CEE pattern): ~$19,485 MRR. Aimed at Central and Eastern Europe.
- AI Nutrition Habit Coach App: ~$18,147 MRR. Habits and coaching, not only counting.

The long tail
Nine more apps make under $200 a month each, including AI Nutrition Tracker App ($185), AI Workout and Nutrition App ($177), AI Food Diary and Fitness Companion ($141), All-in-One Fitness and AI Nutrition App ($82), AI Photo Calorie Counter App ($49), AI Calorie Counting App ($34), AI Meal Photo Calorie Tracker ($30), AI Calorie Counter for Busy People ($27) and AI Photo Calorie Counter (~$24).
Honest catches
- The app is easy, the users aren’t. Photo-to-calories is a few API calls. Winners spend on ads and app store marketing.
- Accuracy. Photo estimates can be off. Don’t promise medical results.
- Big apps add the same feature for free.
What the data says
- Pick a market. One top app targets a region; others target parents or GLP-1 users.
- Coaching beats counting. A habit coach is in the top three.
- Expect the long tail. Most apps here earn under $200 a month.
