No! The Cal AI Smart Food Scale is not just another kitchen scale, it's powered by advanced AI that recognizes your food in real time and calculates nutrition with precision. There are no subscriptions, no setup fees, and no hidden charges. Just accurate, intelligent tracking, built to make healthy eating effortless.

The Cal AI Smart Food Scale goes beyond weight. As you weigh food, it instantly shows 19 essential nutrients (including calories, protein, carbs, and fat) powered by a 1M+ food database. You get precision portion control (3g to 5,000g in 1g increments), multiple units, and faster ways to log like presets, barcode scanning, AI food scan, and search.

You can use the scale by itself to weigh food in 7 units. To unlock the full experience, including nutrition breakdown, barcode scanning, AI scan, daily goals, and progress tracking, you'll want the Cal AI app.
