Yes. PlateLens has a Free plan with no expiration or credit card requirement. Every feature is included, with daily allowances for meal photo scans and AI coach messages plus unlimited manual and barcode logging. Premium is optional and removes those daily limits while your existing food history remains available.
PlateLens has three options: Free forever with daily photo-scan and coach-message allowances, Premium Monthly at $9.99, and Premium Annual. $34.99 a year — the cheapest paid tier in the category, below Lose It! at $39.99. Both Premium tiers include a 3-day free trial for new users.
The Free plan has daily allowances for meal photo scans and AI coach messages. Every feature is included, including the adaptive calorie algorithm that learns your expenditure every week and checks your targets every 14 days to suggest new ones as you progress, barcode scanning, USDA and Open Food Facts databases, macro and micronutrient tracking, and Apple Health and Google Health Connect integration. Manual and barcode logging remain unlimited.
Yes. The full adaptive expenditure comes with every plan, Free included: switch on Adjust with my logs and weigh-ins, and every Sunday PlateLens works out your real TDEE from the meals you log and your weigh-ins; every 14 days it checks your targets and suggests new ones as you progress, and one tap on Apply New Targets puts them to work. A TDEE learned this way is as good as the food log it comes from, and on every plan that log is the most accurate one measured: the Dietary Assessment Initiative recorded ±1.1% calorie error for PlateLens across 180 weighed meals in its published validation study, and Foodvision Bench reproduced that result on 231 more meals on its public GitHub leaderboard.
Yes. Both Premium subscriptions can be cancelled anytime from your Apple ID or Google Play account. You retain access until the end of the current billing period. After Premium ends you keep using the Free plan with no data loss.
No. PlateLens does not currently offer a lifetime plan. The options are the Free plan with no expiration, Premium Monthly at $9.99, and Premium Annual at $34.99. You can keep using Free indefinitely or choose either subscription inside the iOS or Android app when unlimited scans and coach messages become useful.
Subscriptions are processed inside the PlateLens app via App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). Download the app for free, start using the Free plan immediately, and upgrade to Premium from inside the app when you want unlimited scans and coach messages.
