Siloh vs MacroFactor
Verdict: MacroFactor is the stronger app for adaptive macro tracking, with an expenditure estimate that adjusts your targets every week. Siloh is the stronger app when you want your actual meals and your training planned together, with food that changes between training days and rest days.
We make Siloh, so weigh this accordingly. Here's where each one wins.
The short version
MacroFactor is a macro tracker and diet coach. You log your food and weight, and MacroFactor estimates your real energy expenditure and adjusts your calorie and macro targets each week. It does this well, and it is the app we'd point to first if adaptive macro targets are what you want. MacroFactor also now has a separate MacroFactor Workouts app, sold alone or in a bundle with the nutrition app.
Siloh is a nutrition and training app that plans your meals and your workouts as one system. With Siloh Pro, it builds your training program and the meal plan that fuels it, so training days and rest days eat differently, and it adapts the plan after a skipped session. MacroFactor gives you targets to hit. Siloh Pro gives you the meals.

Where MacroFactor wins
- Adaptive macro tracking. MacroFactor estimates your true calorie burn and adjusts your macro plan every week. This is its core strength, and it's more focused on that one job than Siloh is.
- Coaching modes. You can choose coached, collaborative or manual modes, depending on how much control you want over your targets.
- Android. MacroFactor is on iPhone and Android. Siloh is iPhone only for now.
- Lower annual price. One MacroFactor app is $71.99/year and the bundle is $89.99/year, both under Siloh Pro's $149.99/year.
- Track record. MacroFactor won a Google Play Best of 2024 award. Siloh launched on July 30, 2026, and has few reviews so far.
Where Siloh wins
- It plans the meals, not just the numbers. Siloh Pro generates a meal plan built around your training program. MacroFactor sets your targets and you decide what to eat.
- Training-day vs rest-day fueling in one plan. Siloh Pro sets food to match the day's session. With MacroFactor, nutrition and workouts live in two separate apps.
- More training styles. Siloh Pro programs cover lifting, running, MMA/combat and hybrid.
- Adapts after a skipped session. Siloh Pro adjusts the plan when you miss a workout.
- A real free tier. Siloh's free app covers logging, recipes, run tracking with GPS, streaks, a weekly report, grocery lists, households and Clubs.

Siloh's honest downsides
- iPhone only for now. Android is coming soon.
- The AI is in Pro. Meal plans, training programs, adaptation and the AI coach need Siloh Pro.
- Newer app. Launched July 30, 2026, with few reviews so far.
- Not a dedicated adaptive macro tracker. If precise, weekly-adjusted macro targets are the main thing you want, MacroFactor is built for that.
