Ellim vs Fitia
An honest, side-by-side comparison. We tell you where Fitia wins, too.
Fitia is a genuinely good AI meal planner wearing a "fitness app" label. If your fitness life is only about food, it's a strong choice. But its own marketing concedes the point that matters: to actually train, you need a second app. Ellim is the version where you don't.

Where Fitia Falls Short
- No workout tracking, no exercise library, no training features of any kind — Fitia's own blog recommends pairing it with a second app (Hevy) for your workoutsSource: Fitia Blog — Top Fitness Apps↗
- Free tier is heavily gated: 4 logged meals per day, and photo logging, custom macros, the full verified database, and even Apple Health sync all require PremiumSource: Fitia Help — Free vs Premium↗
- At $19.99/mo it costs more than Ellim Premium while covering only the nutrition half — and offers AI-only guidance with no human coachingSource: Fortune — Fitia App Review↗
Where Ellim Wins
One App for Training and Food
Fitia says it themselves: "Use Hevy for your workouts, and let Fitia take care of your nutrition." That's two apps, two subscriptions, two places your data lives. Ellim tracks workouts, nutrition, and water in one app — with one free tier that covers all three.
A Free Tier Without a Meal Cap
Fitia's free tier stops at 4 logged meals a day and locks custom macros and Apple Health sync behind $19.99/mo. Ellim's nutrition logging is free with no daily cap — food search, barcode scanning, and custom tracking included.
Training AI Exists Here
Fitia's AI stops at the plate — it has no exercise library and generates no workouts. Ellim ships AI on both sides: free AI routine import from any photo or text, and premium Smart Session that builds complete workouts from a plain-English description.
Where Fitia Wins
We believe in honest comparisons. Here is what Fitia does well.
- AI meal planning that generates weekly plans and shopping lists from your goals — genuinely differentiated on the nutrition side
- 20,000+ nutritionist-designed recipes and a 10M+ verified food database (Premium)
- Deep Spanish-language food and recipe coverage — dominant in Latin American markets
- Android support — available on both iOS and Android

Which App Is Right for You?
Choose Fitia if...
Choose Fitia if AI meal planning is your primary need — it generates weekly meal plans with shopping lists, something Ellim doesn't do — or if you want the deepest Spanish-language food and recipe database available. It's also the pick if you're on Android. Just know you'll need a second app for anything training-related, because Fitia has nothing on that side.
Choose Ellim if...
Choose Ellim if you train. Fitia can't log a workout, has no exercise library, and openly tells users to pair it with a workout app. Ellim covers workouts, nutrition, and water tracking in one free tier — unlimited meal logging, 3,500+ exercises, custom routines — with AI on both the training and nutrition side when you want it.
The Verdict
Fitia is a genuinely good AI meal planner wearing a "fitness app" label. If your fitness life is only about food, it's a strong choice. But its own marketing concedes the point that matters: to actually train, you need a second app. Ellim is the version where you don't.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Fitia track workouts?
No. Fitia has no workout logging, no exercise library, and no training features — it only imports activity from Apple Health (a Premium feature) to adjust calorie targets. Fitia's own blog recommends using Hevy for workouts alongside it. Ellim tracks workouts natively with a 3,500+ exercise library, free.
Is Fitia really free?
Partially. The free tier logs up to 4 meals a day with barcode scanning, but the full verified database, custom macro targets, photo logging, and Apple Health sync all require Premium at $19.99/mo. Ellim's free tier has no meal cap and includes workout tracking and water tracking.
Is Fitia better than Ellim for nutrition?
For AI-generated meal plans and shopping lists, yes — that's Fitia's specialty and Ellim doesn't generate meal plans. For day-to-day logging, Ellim's free tier is less restricted: unlimited meals, free barcode scanning, and free water tracking, with AI meal-photo detection on premium.
Can I use Fitia and Ellim together?
You could — but the overlap is the problem. You'd log food twice or split your data across apps. Most people pairing Fitia with a workout app are exactly who Ellim is built for: one app, one picture of your day.
Is Fitia available on Android?
Yes — Fitia runs on iOS and Android. Ellim is currently iOS-only, so if you're on Android, Fitia is an option and Ellim isn't yet.
