PocketPlate vs MyFitnessPal: offline calorie tracking?

MyFitnessPal is one of the most established calorie counters available, with a food database of millions of items, barcode and meal scanning, device integrations, and meal-planning tools across its free and subscription tiers. If you want the broadest catalog and a connected ecosystem, it's a strong choice. PocketPlate takes a narrower path: it pairs a bundled, searchable food database with fully offline operation and no account, cloud, or subscription, so every food you log and weight you record stays on your iPhone. The real tradeoff is breadth and connected features versus offline privacy and a one-time, paywall-free experience.
