Victus vs Cronometer

Both tools care about accurate, verifiable nutrition data. Here's an honest look at where each one fits — including where Cronometer is the stronger choice.

WHERE VICTUS WINS

Describe a meal in plain language. Victus turns “grilled chicken burrito bowl, extra rice” into logged items — faster than searching entries one at a time.
Per-entry source citations. Victus shows the source behind each number right as you log, so you can check the work in the moment.
Local-only storage, no account. Your log lives on your iPhone; there's no account to create.
Calm, focused design. A small, single-purpose app rather than a dense dashboard.

WHERE CRONOMETER WINS

Micronutrient depth and a large verified database. Cronometer is built around comprehensive, lab-grade micronutrient data and over a million verified foods.
Platform reach. Cronometer runs on iPhone, Android, and the web; Victus is iPhone-only today.
A free tier and longer track record. A mature app with a free plan many people rely on.

PRICE

Victus: free core app; Victus Pro is a 7-day free trial, then $9.99/month, cancel anytime in the App Store. Cronometer offers a free tier plus a paid Gold plan (check their site for current pricing, as it changes).

Choose Victus if you want to log by describing meals, see each number's source as you go, and keep everything on your device.

Choose Cronometer if deep, lab-grade micronutrient tracking, a web app, or Android support matter most to you.
