Free, and actually free

What does “free” mean here?

Most calorie counters are free until the part you needed. Zabeau’s free tier is the whole tracker: unlimited food, training and weight logging, barcode scanning powered by Open Food Facts, USDA food search, a built-in 308-food library and 72 exercises, the calendar, the streaks and the trend charts. No trial clock, no daily cap, no credit card. The AI coach is the only thing you ever pay for.

Unlimited logging

Log as much as you want

Food, training, weight and water — no daily cap, no entry limit, no “upgrade to keep logging.” The whole diary is yours.

Barcode scan

Never a paid add-on

Point your camera at a barcode and Zabeau pulls the macros from Open Food Facts. It is free on the free tier, and it stays that way.

USDA search

Search whole foods by name

Look up staples and whole foods in the USDA database, portion them, and log them in seconds — also free.

No ads, no card

Nothing sold, nothing owed

No advertising, and nothing you log is monetized against you. You never enter a card to use the tracker.

Offline

Log on the plane

The tracker works fully offline and syncs when you’re back. Stop paying for the coach and your full history stays — it is never held hostage.

Yours to leave with

Export or delete, one tap

Settings hands you your whole history as a file through your phone’s own share sheet. Deleting your account is just as easy, and it takes everything with it.

The honest version

Is Zabeau the best free calorie counter in Canada?

Depends what you mean by free. Canadian-made isn’t rare — one of the best-known calorie counters in the world is built in British Columbia, and it’s a good app. So “made in Canada” on its own isn’t the reason to pick anything.

The line worth comparing is where each app stops being free. In Zabeau the tracker never stops: unlimited logging, barcode scanning, USDA search, saved meals and custom foods, the calendar, streaks and trend charts, steps and sleep against goals you set — all of it on $0, with free forever meaning exactly that. We don’t cripple the free tier to push you upward, because the habit that decides anything here is logging consistently, and an app that nags you every third meal is an app you quietly stop opening.

What you pay for, if you ever do, is a second thing entirely — an AI coach that reads what you actually logged and proposes changes you apply in one tap. Skip it and nothing degrades. See exactly where the line sits on pricing.

Food logging with real macros in Zabeau
Built in Quebec

What being Canadian actually changes

Some of it is flag-waving and some of it is real. Here is the part that is real.

Canadian company, Canadian law

Zasenami, in Laval

Zabeau is made by Zasenami, at Laval, Quebec. Our terms are governed by the laws of Quebec and the federal laws of Canada, and our emails follow Canada’s anti-spam law — a real mailing address and a working unsubscribe in every one.

Canadian crisis resources

Local, not American

If a conversation ever drifts toward disordered eating, the coach stops coaching and hands you resources — and on a Canadian account those are Canadian ones. It never diagnoses, never prescribes, and it is never a substitute for a doctor.

A real French site

English and Quebec French

Every page you can read here exists in Quebec French too, written for Quebec rather than translated at. Switch language in the footer — and if you email us in French, you get a French reply.

Two things Canadian-made does not mean. Your data is not stored in Canada — the app is offline-first on your device and syncs to your own private account, but some of our providers process data outside the country, and privacy names each one. And the app’s interface is in English today; the French you are reading is the site, not the app. When that changes, this line changes with it.

The only paid part

You pay for a coach, never for a tracker

Coach ($12.99/mo or $99.99/yr — $8.33/mo, four months free) adds an AI coach that reads what you actually logged, photo → macros, surgical routine edits, body-composition scan import, and the Weekly Review. Pro ($24.99/mo or $189.99/yr) changes the cadence — the Daily Check-in, every morning, plus the intense coaching mode. Both are built on Claude, the AI assistant from Anthropic.

If you just want to track, stay on Free. The tracker is complete and it never expires.

Those figures are in US dollars (USD). You subscribe through the App Store or Google Play, and each store sets a fixed price for Canada from that base — it shows you the exact amount in your own currency before you pay. Full detail on pricing.

Canada FAQ

The questions Canadians ask first

Is Zabeau really free in Canada?

Yes, and free means the whole tracker, not a trial. Unlimited food, training, weight and water logging; barcode scanning via Open Food Facts; USDA food search; the built-in food and exercise libraries; saved meals and custom foods; the calendar, streaks and trend charts. There is no trial clock, no daily cap and no credit card, and there are no ads. The only thing behind a subscription is the optional AI coach. It is the same free tier everywhere Zabeau is available — nothing is withheld from Canadian accounts and nothing extra is charged to them.

Are the prices in Canadian dollars?

The prices published on this site are in US dollars. You subscribe through the App Store or Google Play, and each store sets a fixed price for Canada from that base — rounded to what prices look like here — and shows you the exact Canadian amount before you pay. That is the store’s price for this region, not a live currency conversion, so converting the US figure yourself will usually give you a slightly different number. The one the store shows you is the one your card sees. The free tier costs nothing in any currency.

Is Zabeau actually made in Canada?

Yes. Zabeau is built by Zasenami in Laval, Quebec. It is not a Canadian storefront on a foreign app: the company is here, the terms of service are governed by the laws of Quebec and the federal laws of Canada with disputes heard in Quebec courts, and our email follows Canada’s anti-spam legislation — a real mailing address and a working unsubscribe in every message we send.

Is the app in French?

The website is, fully — every page exists in Quebec French, and you can switch language from the footer. The app’s own interface is in English today. We would rather say that plainly than let you find out after downloading. The AI coach is a separate question from the interface: it is a language model, so it will answer you in the language you write to it, but the buttons, labels and screens around it are English for now. Support is in both: email us in French and you will get a French reply.

Is my data stored in Canada?

Not entirely, and we would rather be specific than reassuring. Zabeau is offline-first — much of what you log lives on your device and syncs to your own private account on our managed database provider. Some of the services around it process data outside Canada; the email we send you, for example, goes through a provider operating in the United States. Our privacy policy names every provider and what each one receives. What we can promise flatly: we never sell your data, no health data is ever included in crash logs, your food photos are never used to train any AI model, and one tap in Settings exports your whole history or deletes your account and everything in it.

What does the paid tier add?

The AI coach, and nothing else moves. Coach ($12.99/mo or $99.99/yr) adds AI coach chat that remembers you between conversations, photo → macros, surgical routine edits, body-composition scan import, and the Weekly Review — your coach reads your week, every week you log. Pro ($24.99/mo or $189.99/yr) adds the Daily Check-in, so every morning your coach has already read yesterday, plus the intense coaching mode. The tracker itself never moves behind a paywall. If you only want to track, stay on Free — it is complete and it never expires.
