Decide whether scores or detailed planning come first
Simple presents AI coaching, nutrition scores and habit tracking without requiring conventional calorie counting. BestBody can record calories and macros using UK food search, barcode and editable photo logging, then connect that diary to meals, shopping and exercise.
Simple may suit someone who prefers a coaching and scoring approach to food habits. BestBody may suit someone who wants to see the underlying food data and organise the practical week around it. The two experiences should not be treated as identical just because both use AI and food logging.
Workout support has a different place in each product
BestBody’s training workflow includes goal-led gym, home, strength and outdoor plans, with the food plan and progress record alongside them. This makes exercise one of several connected planning modules rather than a standalone content add-on.
Simple documents personalised weekly workout plans with videos, scheduling, intensity and activity-type choices, although access to some workout types depends on subscription. The practical comparison is therefore how training connects to each product’s wider nutrition workflow, not whether Simple has workouts at all.
Free access and paid planning need a careful comparison
Simple says its free version includes Coach Avo answers, nutrition scores and wellness trackers, while Premium pricing varies by platform and offer. Confirm the exact checkout terms that apply to you.
BestBody’s functions are built and wider UK access is opening through early access. Its listed price is £6 monthly or £50 annually, and no trial is advertised. Compare what is available now as well as the long-term workflow, rather than treating ‘free’ as evidence that the products include the same functions.
