What your daily allowance means in practice
+
'''Loopa Basic is the free tier, and it is a complete basic tracker.''' No card, no trial clock, no ads, and no daily cap on how much you log.
−
'''Loopa comes in three plans: Basic, Premium and Premium Family.''' Basic is free: no card, no trial clock, no ads, and no daily cap on how much you log. Premium adds planning, training, devices and your whole history. Premium Family is the same Premium for up to six people.
+
== What is free ==
−
This article is the full list, and it is kept in step with the plans themselves.
+
* '''Food logging''', every way in: search, browse, barcode scan, saying it out loud, describing it in plain words, or typing it yourself. Editing and deleting entries, your recent foods, the nutrition label, and your never-eat list.
+
* '''Saved meals''' — build a meal once and log the whole thing in one tap afterwards.
+
* '''Weight''' and '''water''', with their trends.
+
* '''Vitals''' — blood pressure, glucose, INR, SpO2 and temperature.
+
* '''Micronutrients''' — fifteen of them against the RDA for your age and sex, worked out from food you already logged.
+
* '''Activity you log yourself''' — sessions and active minutes, with the calories folded back into your day.
+
* '''30 days''' of history and trends across all of it.
+
* '''The setup interview''' and the plan it produces: your targets, calculated for you.
+
* '''Easy Switch''' — bringing your history over from another app.
+
* '''The community''' — forums, the feed, friends, profiles, messages and this Knowledge Base.
−
''General wellness tracking, not medical advice.''
+
== What Premium adds ==
−
== Loopa Basic ==
+
Workouts (the set-by-set logger, the exercise library, records, routines, programs and the analytics), intermittent fasting, cycle tracking, H³ the Healthy Habit Helper, the coach that has read your log, the meal planner and Eating Out, photo food logging, device sync, body measurements, progress photos, supplements, sleep, the weight forecast, and history older than 30 days.
−
Everything here is free, for as long as you want it.
+
'''Working with a coach costs nothing on top of Premium.''' A coach writes into the training feature you already have.
−
=== Logging your day ===
+
== The two daily limits on free ==
−
* '''Unlimited food logging'''. Search, scan a barcode, speak it, or type it. No daily limit.
−
* '''Calories, macros and micronutrients'''. Every meal broken down, including fifteen vitamins and minerals against the RDA for your age and sex.
−
* '''Weight tracking'''. Log your weight and watch it move.
−
* '''Water and fluids'''. Track water, or count every liquid you drink.
−
* '''Vitals'''. Blood pressure, heart rate, glucose, blood oxygen, body temperature, INR, sleep hours, energy and mood.
−
* '''Your medication list'''. Doses logged, with interaction alerts.
−
* '''Activity you log yourself'''. Sessions, steps and active minutes, entered by hand.
−
* '''Progress photos'''. Match a pose, build a timeline, compare any two days.
−
* '''Saved meals'''. Build a meal once and log the whole thing in one tap afterwards.
−
* '''Your pantry list'''. What is in your kitchen, on every device you use.
−
* '''Reminders''' for anything you track.
−
* '''Read and correct your record'''. Every entry you have made, and a way to fix any of them.
−
* '''Setup and the app tour'''. Your targets, calculated for you, and a walkthrough of where everything is.
−
* '''Units, clock and privacy controls'''. How you read your own data, and who you share it with.
+
Two things on the free tier ask an AI to do work for you, so both have a daily ceiling:
−
=== Everything else on Basic ===
+
* '''Describing a meal in plain words''' — 10 a day.
+
* '''Nutrient estimates''' — 5 a day.
−
* '''30 days of history''' · today and the twenty-nine days before it, on everything you track.
−
* '''Forums, friends and your feed''', and this Health Database.
−
* '''Join a family group''' you have been invited to, and share the pantry and meals.
−
* '''Join an organization''' · your gym, club or team, with its room and its challenges.
−
* '''Ask how Loopa works''' · help finding a screen or a setting, any time.
−
* '''Where the guidance comes from''' · the citation behind every health claim Loopa makes.
+
'''Search, barcode and manual entry are never limited''', so you can always log everything you eat. And a day whose foods have been estimated before does not use one of your five: those answers are already worked out.
−
== Loopa Premium ==
+
If you reach a limit, it resets tomorrow.
−
Everything in Basic, plus:
+
== What the allowance means in practice ==
−
* '''Your full history''', every day you have ever logged rather than just the last thirty, with trends, reports, the weight forecast and patterns in your own data.
−
* '''Coaching from your own data'''. Ask what to eat, or why a week went the way it did, and get a read on your day.
−
* '''Meal planning''', the shopping list, and '''Eating Out''' · what to order, from the menu in front of you.
−
* '''Photograph a plate'''. Loopa reads it and you correct the list.
−
* '''Meal history''' · a calendar of what you ate, and a tap to log it again.
−
* '''The workout engine''' · 453 exercises, sessions, personal records and multi-week programs.
−
* '''Fasting''', '''cycle tracking''', '''H³ the Healthy Habit Helper''', micro-goals and goal setting.
−
* '''Body measurements''' and '''supplement schedules''', with clash detection.
−
* '''Device sync''' · Apple Health, Health Connect, Withings, Oura and iHealth.
−
* '''Easy Switch''' · bring years of diary in from the app you are leaving.
−
* '''Export everything''' · your whole record, in a file you keep.
−
* '''Guided tracks''' · medication support (GLP-1, testosterone, hormone therapy and peptides), bariatric and weight management, and Low FODMAP.
−
* '''Clinician Share''' and '''a report for your doctor''' · one clean PDF on a link you can passcode, expire and revoke.
−
* '''Loopa Coach''' · work with a human coach, sharing only what you choose.
−
* '''Chat rooms and direct messages''', the global leaderboard, share cards, and '''starting a family group'''.
−
* '''Unlimited plain-words logging and nutrient estimates''', with no daily ceiling.
−
* '''Fluid focus targets''', '''activity suggestions''', '''logging by voice outside the app''', and '''customising the quick button'''.
+
Your daily allowance is stated plainly so you always know where you stand, and it is generous enough that most days you will not reach it. Repeat meals do not spend it, because those answers are already worked out. '''Premium removes both ceilings''' — describe as many meals as you like, and get an estimate for every day, instantly.

Everything in Premium, for each person:
−
−
* '''Premium for everyone at home'''. You, plus up to five people you invite, each with full Premium on their own private account.
−
* '''Joining costs the people you invite nothing.'''
−
* '''Nobody can see anybody else's log.'''
−
* A '''shared household pantry''', if each of you opts in, and '''family meal sharing''' · send a meal to the family for them to log.
−
−
'''On individual Premium you can still start a family group''' and share a household pantry. That group gives nobody else Premium; only the Family plan does.

−
−
== Things worth knowing ==
−
−
* '''Nothing you log is ever deleted.''' Basic shows a rolling 30 days; everything older is kept and appears the moment you upgrade.
−
* '''Removing your own data is free on every plan.''' Deleting an entry, undoing an import, leaving a group and exporting nothing are never behind a purchase.
−
* '''Working with a coach costs nothing on top of Premium.''' A coach writes into the training feature you already have.
−
* '''Premium and Premium Family are bought in the app''', through the App Store on iPhone and iPad or Google Play on Android, and managed in that store account. Basic needs no purchase at all.
