Sometimes, we get asked: "Why don't you provide feature XYZ for free? It seems to be basic! And your competitor ABC does!"
The problem is that different people are interested in different features and thus consider very different features as being "basic." For some people, micronutrient planning is basic and should be free; for other people - Fitbit syncing should be free; for other people, some reports or charts have to be free. Yet, for others syncing with Garmin should be free.
Here is a funny thing.
There is no Premium feature in MyNetDiary that someone hasn't requested to be free because they consider it "basic"!
Free Features in MyNetDiary
MyNetDiary's free mobile apps and the website provide many tracking, planning, and analysis tools for free, covering all the basics for healthy weight loss.
It's widely recognized that MyNetDiary provides more tools and features for free than other diet apps and services - just check user reviews of MyNetDiary. Here is a typical one:
Awesome App
I used the free version for a week. Easy to use and navigate. I just upgraded to the premium version to see what else I can use to help me in my weight loss venture. The free version was plenty and I was really impressed. I think the free version would be great for most people.
Moreover, MyNetDiary does not have any ads, sponsored, or promoted stories - neither in the mobile apps nor on the website. We don't sell our user information to anyone. We want our users to stay focused on their diet, lose weight, be healthy, use the best science available without distracting and frequently misleading ads or promoted stories trying to sell you something questionable.
Finally, MyNetDiary provides the best privacy features among diet apps - no user information is sold or shared, even account creation is optional in MyNetDiary.
Why Does MyNetDiary Have Premium
MyNetDiary is committed to providing a great free app with comprehensive features to help you on your health journey. We continually invest time and effort into improving the app, expanding the food database, and offering helpful tools. For users seeking even more advanced features and personalized support, we offer MyNetDiary Premium as an optional upgrade to enhance your experience and access everything MyNetDiary has to offer.
With MyNetDiary Premium, we provide many advanced and personalized tools and features for those who want to improve faster, track and analyze more insights, improve health, or get more personalized advice, guidance, and support.
We came up with a very reasonable, balanced set of features in free and paid tiers. We don't show ads or promoted stories. We believe our Premium subscription provides a lot of value; it's very helpful.
Even though today you are interested in just one "basic" feature and feel that the cost of MyNetDiary for this single feature is too high, you are getting much more than just this feature with MyNetDiary Premium.
Once you start using MyNetDiary Premium, you'll find yourself using many more of its features than this one "basic" feature that you are looking for today. MyNetDiary Premium makes you more successful in the long run.
One Size Does Not Fit All
Different apps offer different features for free and in their premium upgrades. Something available for free in one app may be a premium feature in another app, and vice versa.
Once again, it's widely recognized that MyNetDiary provides more tools and features for free than other diet apps and services.
But, if you find that the particular feature you are looking for is available for free in some other diet app and the rest of the app's features and privacy policy work well for you, this other app might be indeed a better option for you. It is completely expected - one size doesn't fit all.
