Where WhatToEat wins
MenuFit relies on its restaurant database — if the place you're at isn't in it, you get nothing. WhatToEat works from a photo of the actual menu in front of you, so it works at any restaurant on earth.
Not everyone who cares about what they eat is training for a physique competition. WhatToEat serves vegetarians, people with allergies, budget-conscious diners, or someone who just wants something they'll actually enjoy — without being asked for their macros.
Opening a browser is faster than opening an app store. For a tool you might use a few times a week, WhatToEat's web-first approach removes friction at the exact moment you need a fast answer.
Where MenuFit wins
If you need to hit 180g protein today and you're at Chipotle, MenuFit will rank every item by how well it fits your remaining macros. WhatToEat doesn't do nutrition math.
MenuFit helps you find restaurants near you that fit your goals before you even leave the house. WhatToEat assumes you're already sitting somewhere with a menu.
If you're deep in a fitness routine and want restaurant ordering to feel part of your health stack, MenuFit's iOS/Android app integrates more naturally into that workflow.
Who should use which
MenuFit is a fitness tool that happens to help you order at restaurants. WhatToEat is a restaurant tool that helps you order well given how you feel and what you can eat.
If macros matter to you, use MenuFit. If the menu itself is the mystery you need to solve right now, use WhatToEat — free, no download, works on any menu anywhere.
