I have come to prefer Cronometer.  

I find that I like the fact that i can personalize it more. 

I find that the macros  seem more accurate.

I find that it is easier to find actual products I want to enter.

I may have to play around with it.  The main reason I have used Carb Manager is to calculate macros on the recipes I develop.  I don't actively track macros anymore.  However the recent major "upgrade" to Carb Manager has made inputting recipes a bit frustrating for me.

Have you used Cronometer to input recipes?  If so, how easy do you find it to use and to find ingredients?

@ketoadmin I find it easy.  It lists brands in many cases.   For example Keto Chow has multiple flavor and most of them are list.

ie:  Keto Chow, Peaches and Cream

I'll see how it goes when I enter my next recipe.  I like that you can take pictures of nutritional labels to import new foods and ingredients.

You can also scan some bar codes

I've only used carb manager, but only b/c I didn't know about anything else. I'm gonna check out cronometer though - thanks!

@blains I like the barcode scanning feature.  Like I said, where the rubber meets the road is how hard/easy it is to enter a recipe.  I'll have the answer to that probably on Thursday.

I just entered my first recipe in Cronometer and found it a lot easier / more intuitive than Carb Manager.  It also provides macros at the decimal level, rather than rounding to a full gram.
