The short version

  • Only MyFitnessPal has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: MyFitnessPal free tier limited to 5 food entries per day unless premium subscriber; Veo the camera has to be present, so away fixtures at grounds without a Veo produce no footage and half the season goes unrecorded unless the opposition also owns one.
  • They diverge on capability: MyFitnessPal covers 14M+ food database, Veo covers Two-lens wide capture.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

MyFitnessPal

  • Free tier limited to 5 food entries per day unless premium subscriber
  • Limited offline functionality - cannot search new foods or scan barcodes without internet
  • Database accuracy issues reported at approximately 15% error rate
  • Data export only available via desktop web browser, not mobile app

Veo

  • The camera has to be present, so away fixtures at grounds without a Veo produce no footage and half the season goes unrecorded unless the opposition also owns one.
  • Automatic tracking degrades in rain, low light, snow and when the tripod is mounted too low, and a poorly tracked match is close to unwatchable.
  • Uploads are large and depend on the club broadband, so processing after a weekend of fixtures can take hours and rural clubhouses are the worst affected.
  • The subscription is the product; if it lapses, the camera you bought becomes a recording device with nowhere useful to send the footage.
  • Filming amateur sport almost always means filming minors, and the club is the party responsible for consent, retention and who can access the footage, not the vendor hosting it.
