About CalPulse
CalPulse is an AI-driven nutrition app that analyzes photos of restaurant menus and returns estimated calories, macronutrients, and nutrition facts for each dish. It also proposes healthier swaps and supports multiple languages, making it useful for dining out, travel, and food delivery decisions.
Review
CalPulse focuses on helping you make informed choices before you order by converting menu text into actionable nutrition information within seconds. The interface is straightforward and the core feature set addresses a common gap: most calorie tools require logging after a meal, whereas CalPulse aims to provide guidance at the decision point.

- Suggested healthier swaps for menu items to reduce calories or adjust macros.
- Multilingual menu recognition for use while traveling or at international restaurants.

Pricing and Value
CalPulse offers a 7-day free trial and then requires a paid subscription to continue using the service. For people who frequently eat out, travel, or order delivery, the convenience of getting nutrition estimates before ordering can save time and reduce guesswork. The service delivers clear value if you often need quick, on-the-spot guidance rather than manual lookups or post-meal logging.
