Our verdictPick fitvee for your session and your food on one screen
Two tabs are open, a quiz is half done in each, and you’d like tomorrow to be the day this sticks. fitvee or BetterMe? Pick fitvee. Your session and what’s left of your calories can sit on one screen, a hard move eases while you’re doing it, and the coach that can change your day is already paid for.
One screen runs the day.
Add the food row and calories left, scan and + live under your session, so training and lunch happen in the same place.
A bad day changes today.
Easier sits inside the session, and Vee, the AI coach, can make today gentler or seated, and trim a walking day.
The plan keeps listening.
Every check-in can move your next session, and your place waits for you when life gets in the way.

BetterMe is well made, so this isn’t a rescue. The reasons to choose fitvee are about the shape of your day.
Food keeps slipping your mind.
A diary you have to go and find is a diary you forget. Self-tracking also works better with something to answer to: across 122 evaluations of programs to change diet and activity, monitoring paired with a goal or feedback beat monitoring alone. A kcal-left line under your session is exactly that pairing.
You want to change an afternoon, not a program.
Most days you don’t need a new plan. You need less of this one.
You want help in the price.
The coach you’d lean on should come with the thing you’re already paying for.
You want the renewal in view first.
fitvee’s is public before the quiz.
fitvee vs BetterMe, feature by feature
Scores are out of 5, each with its reasons beside it. What the scores mean.
| Job | App | Score | What it rests on |
|---|---|---|---|
| Workouts | fitvee | 5/5 | Walking, chair and strength plans, with 141 move cards that each carry Easier, Harder and Take-care parts. It has far fewer programs than BetterMe |
| BetterMe | 4/5 | 4,000+ workouts (BetterMe help) and a filmed instructor. You can’t lighten a workout from its own page | |
| Food tools | fitvee | 4/5 | Search, barcode, portions, undo and a goal from your quiz, plus macros, usual foods and typed meals. Meals stop at one day to try |
| BetterMe | 4/5 | A calorie tracker, 20+ meal plans and a fasting tool. Its camera for meals and barcodes is iOS only (BetterMe help) | |
| Coaching | fitvee | 4/5 | An AI coach in the price that can change today and your level and read your food log. It acts on what you say, but it isn’t a person |
| BetterMe | 3/5 | An actual human on chat, day or night, sold as a paid add-on | |
| Personalisation | fitvee | 5/5 | A quiz that can keep every chair move seated or set each strength ladder, a level that follows each check-in, and reminders that learn your routine |
| BetterMe | 4/5 | A quiz-built plan with Special Programs for backs, knees, diabetes and pregnancy. Its intensity levels are whole plans | |
| Progress and motivation | fitvee | 5/5 | A growing flower on walking and chair, a weekly rhythm, four badges and a kind return after time away |
| BetterMe | 4/5 | A Progress tab on iPhone for weight, steps, sleep and more, once Apple Health is connected, and none on the web | |
| Value | fitvee | 4/5 | The plan, the Library, the food diary, the trackers and the coach sit in one price. The add-ons sit outside it |
What each price includes, and what it doesn’t:
| fitvee | BetterMe | |
|---|---|---|
| In the price | Daily sessions, Library, check-in, calorie counter, water, walking and weight trackers, reminders, macros and the coach | Workouts, meal plans, recipes, a fasting tool and calorie, water and step trackers |
| Costs extra | Premium Workouts and the other add-ons, which are separate subscriptions named in the terms | Trainer chat, 21 challenges, kits and a Fitness Tracker |
| Runs on | A web app for your phone or computer, which you can add to your home screen | iOS, Android and the web |
What each is like, screen by screen
The screen you open
Both apps get this right. BetterMe’s Plan tab has a strip of day tiles, your goal, “0 of 28 workouts” and one card with one dark button. fitvee’s Today greets you by name, gives the session its photo, name and length, then shows three rings: sessions done, sessions to day 28 and the weeks to the event you named in the quiz. Here it’s Clouds, seven calm minutes of slow arms drifting from side to side.
Inside the session
BetterMe wins the film. A real instructor works through the moves in a chair, with a countdown for each exercise, Prev, Next and Skip, and switches for voice, signals and music.
fitvee’s player gives each move the screen, with a picture, a line of instruction and a countdown ring. Its advantage sits under that line. Open Easier on Belly breathing and you get a lighter way through the same move, there and then. Chair moves also get a Seated tab, and strength moves step up as well as down.
When it’s too much
Here the two apps work at different sizes. After a session fitvee asks how it felt. Answer Too hard and the next session comes a step easier on every move, with Today showing you what’s next: Sound walk, seven minutes of listening for five sounds as you move. BetterMe’s control is Intensity, in Plan settings: “Each level features a 28-day plan with different exercise intensities.” It reads well. It’s just a bigger lever than a sore Tuesday needs. For the day itself you can Skip an exercise, or go to Workouts for something gentler.
Logging lunch
BetterMe’s tracker is lovely to look at: a ring reading 0 of 1 347 kcal, bars for carbs, fat and protein, and a + for each of four meals. On iPhone, one camera handles a plate photo or a barcode. Its Meals section goes much further than fitvee’s single day of meals, with a daily plan and recipes that have their own Log Meal button.
fitvee opens on the number you care about at lunchtime, what’s left. Type a meal and it comes back as foods with portions and macros, a “1,378 kcal left after this” line and one Log button. Scan a package and it joins your Today list with its macros, and Not right? and Undo sit beside it.
Then comes the part that decides this comparison. Both apps file the full diary under More. BetterMe’s Plan tab carries your workout and no food. fitvee lets you pin a line of the diary under the session, and offers that once you’ve logged a food. You open the app to train and your calories are already there.
The coach
If you want a human being, BetterMe has one and fitvee doesn’t. What you get instead is Vee or Vin, AI coaches that text like a friend, know your plan and can act on what you say. On a walking day, say you’re short on time and the end stretch comes out, with a card in the chat as the receipt. On any plan, ask for a gentler day, a seated day or a rest day and it does that too. Ask about dinner and it answers from your diary. Your check-in shapes the next session and the coach changes today, and either can move your level.
The quiz and what it changes
BetterMe’s Special Programs picker is thoughtful, with options from Sensitive Back to Prenatal and Type 2 Diabetes. fitvee’s quiz does its work inside the sessions. Your push-up and squat counts set where each strength ladder starts, and your goal swaps four days a round. The chair plan’s shoes question can seat every move, and your weight, height and goal set the calorie target. Fitting the plan to the person pays: in 28 trials of healthy adults aged 18 to 65, the apps and trackers that personalised did better at raising daily steps.
A Tuesday in fitvee
Your reminder names the session. You start from Today and answer the check-in, which sets Wednesday. At lunch you scan from the row under your session. If the evening falls apart, you ask Vee to trim a walking day or make any day gentler.
What you eat won’t change your session. What joins the two is plainer: one quiz built your plan and worked out your calorie goal, one screen can show them together, and one coach reads both.
Which one you’d rather open on day 20
Plenty of people stop opening apps like these. In 17 studies of chronic-disease apps, the average dropout rate was about 43%, so how each one feels on an ordinary day matters.
fitvee is the warmer of the two. Each walking or chair session adds a petal to the flower on Progress. A finished session gets its own screen, with your run of days, your week and a kind word. Water and walking goals set off confetti and offer to start today’s session. BetterMe’s motivation is more practical: the count on the Plan tab, the charts on iPhone, a members’ Facebook group and 21 paid challenges.
The two also treat time differently. fitvee’s day number moves when you finish a session, and Today offers “Do Day 4 now” if you want to carry on. BetterMe’s plan days open on their date, with a padlock and “Will unlock on this day” until then. That steady drip can suit a beginner. It’s the return that shows the difference. Three or more days away and fitvee opens on Welcome back and a single button, and the weeks you’ve built stay safe. BetterMe’s Plan settings carry a Restart plan button for “if you’ve been off track”.
Price, both ways
fitvee’s prices are in dollars on a public page. BetterMe’s appears at checkout, after its quiz (BetterMe help), so the row below is the plan we bought from outside the US, in Swedish kronor. To compare fitvee’s plans we use a month at renewal: billing every 4 weeks means 13 charges a year.
| Plan | First payment | Then | A month at renewal |
|---|---|---|---|
| fitvee, 12 weeks, walking | $25.99 for 84 days | $66.65 every 12 weeks | $24.07 |
| fitvee, 12 weeks, chair or strength | $36.99 for 84 days | $94.85 every 12 weeks | $34.25 |
| fitvee, 4 weeks | $15.19 for 28 days | $38.95 every 4 weeks | $42.20 |
| fitvee, 1 week | $6.93 for 7 days | $38.95 every 4 weeks | $42.20 |
| BetterMe chair yoga, as we bought it | kr24,99 for 1 week | kr535,70 every 4 weeks |
The US App Store.
It lists ten BetterMe items from $6.99 to $41.99, without saying which you’d be offered (App Store).
The jump at renewal.
Both start low and renew higher, as the table shows, and BetterMe says so plainly in its help (BetterMe help). Kronor and dollars don’t compare, so read each app against itself.
After you’ve paid.
BetterMe’s billing page showed the next charge date and amount clearly. fitvee’s checkout gives the renewal date, and a reminder goes out a week ahead of the full-price charge on a 4 or 12-week start (renewals). You cancel fitvee online and can train until your paid time runs out (cancel). BetterMe cancels through your store account, or your profile for web purchases (BetterMe help). fitvee has no money-back guarantee and treats each payment as final (refunds). BetterMe’s refund rules are in our BetterMe review.
What members say
“Compared with BetterMe, I noticed today’s session and the food row sit on one screen, so I could log lunch without leaving Today. I also had to look for the easier version of a move, and found it on the second try.”
“I wanted my food and my sessions in one place. The first week was easier than I expected, and I liked that I could pick the easier option.”
“On a tired evening I logged a bowl of pasta in a few taps and went to bed.”
“Workouts and meals in one place. I notice the habit more than the app now.”
Pick your plan
Every plan is a quiz, then your first session, and each comes with the food tools and the coach. The prices are public before any of that.
Tai chi walking
7 minutes standing, with a wall or counter in reach and chair yoga in your Library.
Chair yoga
10 to 20 minutes, in the chair or holding on to it, with tai chi walking in your Library.
Calisthenics
About 15 minutes at home, and the push-up starts on a wall and works down to the floor.

How we compare
Both apps’ pricing, help and store pages were read on 6 November 2026. Our BetterMe screens are from 2 November 2026, on a chair yoga plan we paid for, using the iPhone app and the web app. The fitvee screens are a preview of the app, with sample history on a test member. Full method: How we compare.
What the scores mean. We rate six jobs out of 5. The top mark needs the whole job done, with something that clearly stands out. Four says the main job is covered. Three flags a real catch, a key part costing extra being the usual one. Two gets through part of the job, and one very little of it. Scores rest on each app’s own pages and on our shots, and a job those can’t support goes unscored. There’s no overall score, because you’ll weigh the jobs differently from the next reader.
