Alternative Calorie Counting Apps to MFP? (links.dartboard.social)

I used to use the My Fitness Pal app to count calories, but it seems that since I've last used it they put more things in the paid tier, including barcode scanning which I always found super useful. But I think I'll go back to CICO tracking because my weight has crawled back up to where it was before.

Is there a good alternative app with as powerful logging and calorie counting features or should I just pay the money?

Tacking onto this with more info: LoseIt has a decent free version (barcode scanner is available but stuff like logging future days and setting macro targets is not), otherwise they've got a monthly/annual and a lifetime subscription that are kind of pricey but all go on sale pretty regularly. Overall it has been my go to for a long time. Totally agree about the useless database though, even the "verified" foods tend to be wrong. I'll have to check out Cronometer!
