About Cal Plus
Cal Plus is a free AI calorie and workout tracker for iPhone and Android. You log meals by photo, barcode, menu scan or a sentence, track gym workouts with sets, reps and a rest timer, and talk to an AI coach that remembers your goals. Every one of those features is free, with no subscription and no scan limit.
Who makes it
Cal Plus is made by Dilsahib Singh, an independent developer, and is published on the App Store and Google Play under that name. It started as a simple idea: the scanning that other apps charge a monthly fee for should be free, and the app should pay for itself another way. It has been free from day one and that is not changing.
Why it is free
Occasional short ads pay for the servers and the AI. That is the whole business model. If you would rather not see ads, going ad-free costs $14.99 a year or $34.99 once on calplus.app (a little more inside the app), and nothing else changes: you already had every feature. The only other purchases are optional too: call credits for voice calls with the coach, and a $0.99 streak restore.
The reason we can say "free forever" with a straight face is that ads scale with use. More people scanning means more ad views, which pays for more scans. There is no point at which we need to lock a feature to make the numbers work.

What we will not do
- Sell your data. Your food logs are private by default, group posts are visible only to your group, and Cal Plus does not sell your data.
- Lock scanning behind a paywall. Photo, barcode and menu scans stay free and unlimited.
- Hide prices. Everything you can buy, and what it costs, is on the FAQ and the ad-free page.
- Publish a comparison without sources. When we compare Cal Plus with other apps, every claim about a rival links to that app's own listing or website, and we say which app is ours.
Works with the tools you already use
Cal Plus reads steps, burned calories and workouts from Apple Health and Health Connect, so runs from an Apple Watch, Strava or Samsung Health show up next to your meals. Your data exports as a CSV file from Settings. And on the ad-free plan you can connect Cal Plus to ChatGPT, so your own assistant can coach you on your real meals, workouts, weight and sleep. That connection is read-only and you can switch it off any time. How the coaching works.
