MealCost helps you understand what your meals really cost — whether you cook at home or eat out. Log meals quickly by entering totals manually, with optional grocery receipts if you want more detail. Grocery receipts are never required, and you can keep things simple or be more precise depending on what works for you. MealCost shows recent totals and summaries and includes access to up to 30 days of meal and receipt history. As you use the app over time, MealCost builds a clearer picture of your food spending and highlights patterns that are easy to miss day to day. Subtle milestones help you see progress without getting in the way, and no account is required to get started. With a one-time unlock, MealCost adds deeper insights and long-term visibility. Unlocking provides unlimited meal and grocery receipt history, trends over time, budgets and monthly targets, tip totals and tip history, item price history, and advanced stats and summaries. MealCost is designed to stay out of your way. Your data is stored locally on your device, and there are no subscriptions. Use it a little or a lot — the more meals you log, the more useful the insights become.
