ProgressLens vs bodyfatAI

Short answer
bodyfatAI multi-photo AI body fat scans with monthly muscle analytics and a leaderboard. ProgressLens is an AI progress photo app for iPhone and Android: it reads your photos together with your tape measurements, so its body-fat range stays steady, and every Progress Report says what changed, whether you’re losing fat or muscle, and whether to cut, lean bulk, recomp or maintain. Pick bodyfatAI for multi-photo AI body fat estimates with monthly analytics; pick ProgressLens to track whether it’s working and what to do next, on any phone, in 11 languages.

Choose ProgressLens if…

Why photos plus tape beat a single scan
Photo-based body fat estimates move with lighting, pump, pose and clothing, so two scans a week apart can disagree by several points. In our analysis of Reddit posts, people quoting estimates from different AIs saw gaps of 2 to 8 points. ProgressLens anchors the photo read with the US Navy tape formula and your history, and the same photos always give the same result.
