The short version

  • Each has a real cost: MyFitnessPal free tier limited to 5 food entries per day unless premium subscriber; Komoot offline maps are sold per geographic region rather than per user, so coverage is bought as a Single Region, a Region Bundle or the World Pack
  • They diverge on capability: MyFitnessPal covers 14M+ food database, Komoot covers Route planning.
