Brolic vs MacroFactor.

The short answer

MacroFactor is a food tracker whose targets adjust every week, and its workouts live in a second app. Brolic keeps food, workouts and GLP-1, TRT or peptide routines in one app. If you lift, our pick is Brolic.

What each costs

MacroFactor is $71.99 a year or $11.99 a month in the US, after a 7-day free trial, with no free plan. Its workouts app is a separate subscription; people who started on or after January 1, 2026 can bundle both apps for $89.99 a year. Brolic’s yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial, then costs $99.99 a year, or $19.99 a month, and covers food, workouts and protocols in one app. Prices vary by country; check your own store before subscribing.

Logging food

Both apps scan barcodes and nutrition labels and log a meal from a photo or a description. MacroFactor’s strength is its targets: it estimates what you actually burn from the food you log and your trend weight, and adjusts your macro plan every week, using a database of about 1.36 million verified foods.

Brolic sets protein-first calorie and macro targets from your setup, searches 2 million+ generic and branded foods, and shows every AI draft as an editable entry you review before anything is saved.

Workouts

MacroFactor keeps training in a separate app, MacroFactor Workouts, which generates programs and adjusts weights and reps with Smart Progression. The two apps share body weight and measurements, but food and training are logged in different places.

In Brolic, workouts sit beside your food on the same daily view. You log sets with one tap, see your previous performance, use a rest timer and get personal record alerts, and AI drafts a single workout or a multi-week program that you edit before it starts.

Protocols

We found no medication or protocol tracking on MacroFactor’s pages. Brolic’s Protocols keep GLP-1, TRT and peptide routines you enter yourself, with schedules, reminders and injection-site rotation, on the same timeline as your food and training. Brolic tracks what you enter and never recommends a dose.

Brolic: our pick for lifters

Brolic is an iPhone app that keeps food logging, workout tracking, protocols and progress in one place. It suits lifters who want one daily view for what they eat, how they train and any GLP-1, TRT or peptide routine they run.

It is the product at brolic.app, developed by PSG Labs Inc. Brolic is on the App Store for iPhone. The yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial, then costs US$99.99 a year, or US$19.99 a month.
