A cup means 240 ml here. The apps and the website follow the US Nutrition Labeling guidelines so the numbers stay consistent, and those guidelines define one cup as 240 ml. Elsewhere a cup is half a US liquid pint, or anywhere between 200 and 250 ml depending on where you are.
A cup is traditionally equal to half a liquid pint in US customary units, or an amount between 200 ml and 250 ml (1/5 and 1/4 of a litre) in the metric system, which may vary due to location.
MyNetDiary and PlateAI use the US Nutrition Labeling guidelines for its apps and the website, to calculate consistent numbers. For nutrition labeling purposes, the Nutrition Labeling guidelines define one cup as 240ml. Please see Wikipedia article for more details.
