Fitia alternative — AI tracking plus the cooking and couples layer
Fitia is a strong AI calorie tracker. Swoodie matches the AI tracking and adds recipe generation and a couples mode Fitia skips.
The bottom line
Fitia and Swoodie are close on AI-first tracking. Swoodie pulls ahead on the cooking and couples layer — recipe generation, Swipe Together — at a lower annual price; Fitia leads on LATAM food data and a family plan.
Fitia is a genuinely well-built AI nutrition app — calorie tracking, personalized meal plans, an AI coach and a food database with unmatched Latin American coverage. With 10M+ users and a 4.9 rating, it's a real competitor on the AI-first tracking side.
The gaps appear in cooking and social features: Fitia has no dedicated recipe-generation experience and no couples mode. Swoodie's AI runs on a 5-use free trial, then Premium — and adds the cooking-and-couples layer.
