Healthi App Review UK (2026)

App Store 4.8 ★
Price ~£30/yr
Free Version Yes
Best For WW alternative
Quick Verdict: Healthi (formerly iTrackBites) offers a points-based tracking system similar to Weight Watchers at a fraction of the cost. At around £30/year versus WW's £22/month, it's genuinely affordable. The app provides six different diet plans and has a strong community. Some users report occasional bugs after updates.

What is Healthi?

Healthi, previously known as iTrackBites, is a weight loss app that uses a points-based system inspired by Weight Watchers. It's designed for people who want WW-style tracking without the WW price tag.

The app assigns "bites" (their version of points) to foods, making calorie counting more intuitive. Different foods have different point values based on their nutritional profile, encouraging healthier choices.

The Six Healthi Plans

  • Carb Conscious: Low-carb programme for those who crave carbs
  • Conquer Cravings: Nutrient-dense meals for snack cravings
  • Sugar Smart: Low-carb for those eating sweets and fast food
  • Better Balance: Focuses on whole foods
  • Calorie Command: Traditional calorie counting approach
  • Keeping Keto: Low-carb with protein and healthy fats

Healthi Pricing UK

  • Free Version: Basic tracking, limited features
  • Healthi Pro: ~£30-36/year (around £3/month)
  • Comparison: WW costs ~£22/month (£264/year)

The Pro version unlocks all six plans, 100,000+ recipes, restaurant database, Fitbit/Apple Watch integration, and coach meal plans.

The App Experience

The points system works well for people who find pure calorie counting tedious. Foods aren't just numbers - they're weighted by nutritional quality. A handful of almonds might cost fewer "bites" than a biscuit with similar calories.

Studies suggest 88% of people who track food consistently see results within 7 days. Healthi makes this tracking accessible without the premium price.

The community features connect you with other users, and coach-created meal plans provide structure if you want it.

What Real Users Say

Healthi has 4.8/5 on the App Store. Reviews are generally positive, particularly around value for money.

"As I made more careful decisions and healthier choices, the scale started moving downwards. I noticed a positive change in mood swings, improvement in skin and sleep, and an increase in energy levels." - 30-day trial review
"A more affordable app for tracking calories and macros. Frustrated with buggy updates though." - App Store review

What positive reviewers say: Great WW alternative, affordable, multiple plan options, results when consistent

What negative reviewers say: App bugs after updates, US-heavy food database, learning curve for points

Who Healthi Is For

Former WW Members

Familiar with points but want lower cost.

Budget-Conscious Users

Want quality tracking at £3/month.

Plan Explorers

Want to try different diet approaches.

Community Seekers

Motivated by connecting with others.

Who Should Look Elsewhere

  • Pure calorie counters: Points system may feel indirect
  • UK-specific foods: Database leans US (though improving)
  • Tech-sensitive users: Updates can be buggy

The Bottom Line

Healthi delivers on its promise: Weight Watchers-style tracking at a tenth of the cost. The six different plans provide flexibility, the community adds accountability, and the price point is genuinely accessible.

The points system isn't for everyone - some prefer straightforward calories. And the occasional buggy update frustrates users. But for former WW members or anyone curious about points-based tracking, Healthi offers genuine value.

Start with the free version to see if the approach suits you. If it does, Pro at £30/year is hard to argue with.

Our verdict: Excellent value WW alternative. Try the free version first.
