Our verdict on openplate
openplate is a food diary for people who want to track meals, daily nutrition targets, and weight over time. Food search, repeat-meal logging, and custom entries cover manual tracking; AI plate-photo estimates offer another way to record food, with users reviewing the estimates. Pantry inventory, meal ideas, and fasting tools extend it beyond a basic diary. Its combination of open-source self-hosting and local-first storage options makes it particularly relevant to people who want more control over where their food records live.
The plan structure starts with Free, which includes diary and trends, manual food logging, and 10 AI scans per week. Basic costs €2.99 monthly or €14.99 for the introductory first year, then renews monthly at the monthly price; it adds pantry and raises the scan allowance to 20 per week. Plus is €4.99 monthly or €24.99 for the introductory first year, with 40 scans weekly and fasting added. Max costs €6.99 monthly or €34.99 for the introductory first year, and provides 100 weekly scans alongside pantry and fasting. Published annual prices include VAT and renew monthly at the applicable monthly price. A free one-time self-host option provides an open-source copy and lets users bring an AI provider.
The platform is web-based, including a browser-installable progressive web app, or self-hosted. AI integrations include OpenRouter, Anthropic, Mistral, OpenAI-compatible endpoints, Ollama, vLLM, LM Studio, and llama.cpp. This provider flexibility and self-hosting are meaningful differentiators for technically comfortable users; the product is less suited to someone who specifically needs a native mobile platform. Support channels are email and documentation. Choose openplate for food and weight tracking with configurable AI and hosting; look elsewhere if barcode scanning, coaching, or connected-device syncing is central to your needs.
