Is MacroFactor Free? Cost, Trial, What You Get
MacroFactor is not free. Here is what the trial covers, what MacroFactor costs after it, and a one-time-purchase alternative that never renews.
Is MacroFactor free?
No. MacroFactor is not free. The app is free to download, and there is a 7-day free trial of the full app. Cancel at least 24 hours before it ends to avoid the charge. Using it beyond that means a paid subscription that renews until you cancel it.
This is the standard model for the category: free to install, free for a few days, then a recurring charge. The trial is the part to watch. If you do not cancel before it ends, you are charged for the full period.
How much does MacroFactor cost?
$11.99 a month, $47.99 for six months, or $71.99 a year.
Those are the prices we verified in September 2026. Subscription prices change, vary by country, and depend on whatever promotion is running, so the only number to trust is the one on the store screen at the moment you subscribe. Two things worth knowing before you tap it: a yearly plan is charged up front, and a "per month" figure on an annual plan is the yearly total divided by twelve.
The trial: A 7-day free trial of the full app. Cancel at least 24 hours before it ends to avoid the charge. If you decide it is not for you, we wrote a guide on how to cancel MacroFactor.
What people run into
- There is no free version and the company says there never will be.
- When the trial ends you either pay or lose access to your log.
- The subscription is the same price whether you use the coaching or just the food log.
None of that makes MacroFactor a bad app. It is known for an adaptive algorithm that re-estimates your expenditure from your weigh-ins, and for a lot of people that is worth paying for. It is just worth knowing the model before the renewal hits.
A no-subscription alternative: Silent
Silent is a calorie, macro, habit and fasting tracker for iPhone that costs $3.99 once. There is no free tier that nags you to upgrade, no trial that converts, and no renewal. Every feature is unlocked at purchase, including future updates.
It also keeps your data on your phone. The AI coach runs on-device with Apple Intelligence, so your food log and weight history are never uploaded, because there is no server to upload them to. Steps, sleep and workouts come in from Apple Health.
To be fair about what it is not: Silent is iOS only, and it does not do barcode or photo logging. You type what you ate, or pick a saved meal. If MacroFactor's an adaptive algorithm that re-estimates your expenditure from your weigh-ins is the reason you use it, that is a real trade-off. If the reason you are here is the price or the privacy, it is the trade-off Silent was built to make.
