Adra · Pricing model
A macro tracker with no subscription.
Most trackers are free to start and expensive to keep. Adra is the other way around. Use it free for as long as you like, or pay once and own it. Nothing renews, there is nothing to sign up for, and no ads get in the way.
No subscription. No account. No catch.
Pay once, or not at all.
The free version of Adra is a real tracker, not a demo. Log meals with a photo, a barcode, a nutrition label, or by hand, and the whole loop stays free. That is on purpose. A tracker only earns its place if you can use it every day without a meter running. The one-time unlock adds your complete history and every future feature, and it never renews. Nothing counts down in the background.
Nothing to sign up for.
Adra has no accounts, because accounts exist to sync and to track, and Adra does neither. There is no email to give, no password to remember, no profile to fill in. No login screen waits at the start, and nothing syncs to a server. Your meals live in a database on your phone and nowhere else.
No ads, no timers.
The free tier is not paved with ads, and no trial clock ticks toward a decision. No discount expires if you wait, and no streak guilt piles up if you skip a day. The app is exactly as calm on day 900 as it is on day one.
The math
Subscriptions are small at first and large in total. A tracker at €49.99 per year costs about €150 over three years, and it keeps charging after that. Adra costs €34.99 once, and that is the whole bill. The table shows the same comparison year by year.
One payment, not a meter.
| Year | Typical subscription tracker | Adra |
|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | €40–70 | €34.99 once |
| Year 3 | €120–210 | |
| Year 5 | €200–350 |

Works offline, on your phone
Photo recognition runs on the phone's own chip, and the food catalog ships inside the app. The app does not need a connection to think. Airplane mode is not a limitation, and it changes nothing about how a meal gets logged.
The one optional online moment is a barcode lookup for packaged foods the local catalog does not know. The request sends only the barcode number to a public food database, never the photo. Your meals stay on the phone. The full story is on the privacy page.
What this does not mean
-
Photo macros are estimates.
A picture cannot weigh your plate, so Adra gives you a starting estimate and lets you confirm or adjust it. The number is a starting point for a decision you make, not a verdict.
-
The catalog has edges.
247,065 foods are searchable offline, and 7,395 whole foods carry image embeddings for photo matching. That covers most everyday eating, but a family recipe still needs a photo of your own before Adra can learn it.
-
Barcodes need a moment online.
Packaged-food data downloads on demand, so a barcode scan is the one feature that is not fully offline. Everything else keeps working with no connection at all.
-
Android today.
One platform, done well. iOS is on the roadmap, not on the shelf, so the Android app gets the full attention instead of being split across two systems.
FAQ
Is Adra really free?
Yes. The free version logs every meal, keeps today's view, and exports backups. No ads, no account, no time limit.
What does the one-time payment unlock?
Adra Full. Your complete history, any date range, plus all future features. One payment of €34.99, restored anytime from Play.
Do I need an account?
No. Adra has no accounts at all. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to log into.
Does it work without internet?
Almost always. Photo recognition, logging, and history all work offline. Only barcode lookups for packaged foods use the network, and they are optional.
