Honest comparison
Whey to Go: the Cronometer alternative.
Cronometer is the tracker people pick for data quality, and its micronutrient depth is real. But gold is $59.99 a year, the free tier carries ads, and your diary lives in their cloud behind an account. Here is the honest side-by-side.
| Whey to Go | Cronometer | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free trial, then $3.99/month, $39.99/year or $49.99 for life | Gold is $59.99 a year |
| Cost over five years | $49.99 at most (the lifetime price) | $299.95 |
| Ads | None, ever | In the free tier |
| Micronutrients | Core macros and trends | Exceptional - dozens tracked |
| Account | None - no sign-up, no password | Required |
| Your data | Stays on your device | Stored on their servers |
| Works offline | Fully | Limited |
| Training | Plans, sessions and lifts built in | Activity logging, no plans |
| Apple Health | Two-way sync | Yes |
Prices from each app’s US App Store listing, June 2026, taking the cheapest annual plan. They change, vary by plan and promotion, and most also offer pricier tiers.
Where Cronometer wins
Micronutrient tracking is the best in the category - lab-sourced data across dozens of vitamins and minerals. If you are managing a clinical condition or genuinely care about your selenium intake, Cronometer is the right tool for that job.
Where Whey to Go wins
Their subscription runs to $299.95 over five years. Whey to Go's lifetime price is $49.99, once. It is ad-free on every paid plan and there is no account, and your data stays on your phone rather than their cloud - never sold. You get the macro tracking most people actually use day to day, with training plans built in rather than bolted on.
