MyFitnessPal hasn’t announced a single across-the-board price hike, but the effective cost of using it has climbed.

MyFitnessPal price increase history
MyFitnessPal’s headline price hasn’t jumped in one step, but its paywall has expanded. In 2024 it introduced a higher Premium+ tier ($99.99/year) above Premium ($79.99/year), and in May 2026 it moved several previously-free features — scan-a-meal, recipe URL import and macro-by-meal goals — behind Premium. For long-time free users, that paywall expansion is the most consequential change in years even though the sticker price didn’t change.

Has MyFitnessPal raised its price?
Not as a single sticker increase — but the effective cost of getting full use of MyFitnessPal has gone up. The app keeps Premium at $19.99/month ($79.99/year), yet it has steadily moved value behind that paywall and added a pricier Premium+ tier at $99.99/year for features like advanced analytics and meal planning.
The sharpest change came in May 2026, when MyFitnessPal quietly expanded the paywall — scan-a-meal, recipe URL import and macro-by-meal goals all moved to Premium. For long-time free users who relied on those tools, it effectively turned a free habit into a paid one, which is its own kind of price increase even though no published number changed.
Paywall creep is easy to miss because there’s no announcement email with a new price — features simply stop working until you subscribe. Tracking what you actually pay for the apps you use daily is the clearest way to notice when "free" quietly becomes $80 a year.
