Perplexity 
Lifesum is one of the most popular nutrition apps in the world, with over 50 million registered users across 250 countries. But it is also one of the few major calorie trackers that does not offer a standard free trial for its Premium plan.
As a NutriScan nutritionist, I get asked about Lifesum deals often. So here is a complete guide to every way you can try Lifesum Premium without paying full price in 2026.
A 2024 study on mHealth app engagement found that personalization and reinforcement features are the two biggest drivers of long-term user retention. Free trials give users time to experience those features before committing, which makes Lifesum's no-trial model unusual.
TL;DR
Lifesum has no standard free trial. Your best options: Oscar Health (3 months free), Wellhub employer benefit, Edenred codes, or influencer deals. No luck? NutriScan offers a 7-day free trial with no strings attached.

Us searching for that Lifesum free trial button that does not exist.
Does Lifesum Have a Free Trial?
The short answer is no. Lifesum does not offer a standard free trial through the App Store or Google Play. Unlike competitors such as MyFitnessPal, MacroFactor, and Lose It, there is no "try 7 days free" button when you download the app.
Garage Gym Reviews confirmed this in their 2026 review, listing "no free trial for premium version" as a key drawback and noting that customers were frustrated about the missing trial.
However, Lifesum does partner with health insurers, corporate wellness platforms, influencers, and employee benefits programs to offer free Premium access. Sometimes up to 3 months.
Hunting for Lifesum deals? Here is every partner program worth checking.
The Oscar Health Deal: 3 Months Free
The biggest Lifesum free trial deal available right now is through Oscar Health, a US health insurance provider.
What you get: 3 months of Lifesum Premium completely free.
Who qualifies: Current Oscar Health members only.
How to activate:
- Visit lifesum.com/oscar from any browser
- Click "Start your free trial"
- You will be redirected to a signup or login page
- Create a Lifesum account or log into your existing one
- Your 3-month Premium access activates immediately
The landing page describes Lifesum as providing "personalized diets and meal plans, food tracking, recipe ideas and tons of nutritional tips to make healthy eating simple and sustainable."
Auto-Renewal Alert
This deal may auto-renew after the 3-month trial period. Set a calendar reminder to cancel before the trial ends if you do not want to continue paying. Lifesum requires cancellation at least 3 days before renewal.
The Wellhub (Gympass) Partnership
Wellhub, formerly known as Gympass, is a corporate wellness platform that bundles gym memberships with digital health apps. Lifesum is one of the partner apps.
What you get: Lifesum Premium access as part of your Wellhub subscription.
Who qualifies: Employees at companies that offer Wellhub as a benefit.
How to activate:
- Open the Lifesum app on your phone
- Look for the "Wellness" banner inside the app
- Tap it to see all available partner apps
- Select Lifesum and follow the activation steps
- Your Premium access should activate within minutes
According to the Lifesum Help Center, the Wellhub integration works on both iOS and Android.
Cost: This is not a standalone deal. You need an active Wellhub subscription through your employer. The cost depends on your company's Wellhub plan tier.
Edenred Employee Benefits
Lifesum also partners with Edenred, an employee benefits and engagement platform used by companies across Europe and Asia.
What you get: A redemption code for Lifesum Premium.
Who qualifies: Employees at companies that use Edenred benefits.
How to activate:

Influencer and Content Creator Deals
Lifesum runs influencer partnership pages that offer special pricing or short trial periods. These are unique landing pages with URLs like lifesum.com/influencer/[name].
One confirmed example is the 20 Minute Fitness podcast partnership.
How these typically work:
- A fitness creator or podcast shares a special link
- You click through and see a custom landing page
- The deal usually offers a discounted first billing cycle (not always a full free trial)
- Some deals bundle a short trial with a discounted annual plan
How to find active influencer deals:
- Search YouTube, Instagram, or podcast directories for "Lifesum" + "code" or "link in bio"
- Check fitness and nutrition podcasts for Lifesum sponsorship segments
- Look at the creator's description or show notes for unique URLs
Good to Know
These deals change frequently. A code that worked last month may not work today. Some influencer links lead to discounted annual plans, not free trials. Always read the landing page carefully before entering payment info.
Samsung Galaxy Watch Partnership
In August 2021, Samsung partnered with Lifesum for the Galaxy Watch4 series, integrating food and water tracking directly into the watch. MobiHealthNews reported that the deal made Lifesum "a leading nutrition partner on the Samsung Galaxy Watch4 series."
Samsung has historically offered promotional trial periods for partner apps bundled with new Galaxy devices. If you recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Watch, check the Samsung Health app or the Galaxy Store for any active Lifesum promotions.
How to check:
- Open the Galaxy Store on your Samsung device
- Search for "Lifesum"
- Look for any promotional banner or "free trial" offer
- If available, follow the activation steps in the Galaxy Store listing
This is not a guaranteed deal. It depends on Samsung's current promotional calendar and your region.
Coupon Sites: What Actually Works
Several coupon aggregator sites claim to offer Lifesum discount codes. Here is what the major ones show as of March 2026:
| Coupon Site | Claimed Discount | Verified? |
|---|---|---|
| SimplyCodes | Up to 55% off | Some codes verified |
| WorthEPenny | Up to 65% off | Unverified |
| TenereTeam | Up to 70% off | Unverified |
Reality check: Most of these "discount codes" simply redirect you to Lifesum's standard annual pricing page, where the 12-month plan is already discounted compared to the monthly rate. A "50% off" claim often just means you are paying for the annual plan instead of three separate 3-month plans.
A 2023 discrete choice experiment on mHealth app purchasing found that cost has "the greatest effect on consumers' choice of health apps," with higher prices significantly reducing preference. Misleading coupon claims can erode that trust.
Not all Lifesum "deals" are equal. Here is how they actually compare.
Coupon Safety Tips
- Always verify the final price at checkout before entering payment details
- Compare the "discounted" price to Lifesum's standard pricing page
- Avoid sites that ask for your Lifesum login credentials. Legitimate coupon sites never need your password

What You Get With Lifesum Premium vs Free
Before chasing a free trial, it helps to know what you are actually trying to unlock.
Free plan features:
- Basic food, exercise, water, and weight tracking
- Barcode scanner
- Limited food database access
Premium features you unlock:
- Multimodal tracking (photo, voice, text, barcode in one interface)
- Access to all meal plans (keto, paleo, high protein, vegan, intermittent fasting, and more)
- Custom calorie and macronutrient goals
- Detailed nutrition breakdown per meal
- Food quality ratings and daily scores
- Weekly Life Score (combines food, exercise, and habits into a 0-150 score)
- Hundreds of Premium recipes with nutrition info
- Save favorite foods and meals
According to the Lifesum Help Center, "Lifesum Premium membership gives you access to all the content in the app" including adjusted calories, adjusted macronutrients, and the full recipe library.
Here is exactly what the free plan misses compared to Premium.
Standard Pricing (No Deal)
| Plan | Price | Per Month |
|---|---|---|
| 3 months | $29.99 | $10.00 |
| 6 months | $49.99 | $8.33 |
| 12 months | $99.99 | $8.33 |
Regional Pricing
Pricing varies by region. Some markets show promotional pricing as low as $15-22 for 3 months. Lifesum is based in Stockholm, Sweden, so EU consumer protection rules apply to website purchases. You have a 14-day withdrawal right on website purchases, though this does not apply to App Store or Google Play purchases.
One thing worth noting: Lifesum does not offer a monthly subscription option in most markets. Your shortest commitment is 3 months at $29.99. This makes finding a free trial deal even more valuable.
A 2023 study across Spain, Germany, and the Netherlands found that "reducing costs and creating sound business models are the major driving forces to increase the adoption of mHealth apps." Lifesum's 3-month minimum commitment is a higher barrier than most competitors.
Step-by-Step: How to Get the Best Lifesum Deal in 2026
If you do not qualify for any partner program, here is a practical checklist to find the best available price:
You after finding a Lifesum deal that actually works.
Step 1: Check your health insurance. If you have Oscar Health in the US, you can get 3 months free. Other insurers may add Lifesum in the future.
Step 2: Ask your employer about Wellhub or Edenred. Many employees do not realize their company offers digital wellness benefits. Check your HR portal or benefits guide.
Step 3: Search for active influencer codes. YouTube and podcast descriptions often contain Lifesum sponsorship links with special offers.
Step 4: Check your Samsung device. If you own a Galaxy Watch or Galaxy phone, look for promotional app bundles in the Galaxy Store.
Step 5: Compare the standard plans. If no deal exists, the 12-month plan at $99.99 ($8.33 per month) is the best standard rate. The 6-month plan costs the same per month, so there is no savings advantage to the shorter plan.
Step 6: Set a cancellation reminder. If you do find a free trial through a partner, set a calendar reminder 3 days before it expires. Lifesum requires cancellation at least 3 days before renewal to avoid being charged.
Step 7: Try the free plan first. The free version of Lifesum still includes basic tracking and the barcode scanner. Use it for a week to see if the app's design and interface work for you before paying anything.

How Lifesum Compares to Other Apps' Free Trial Offers
One of the most common frustrations with Lifesum is that almost every competitor offers a standard free trial. Here is how Lifesum's trial policy compares:
| App | Free Trial | Length | How to Start |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lifesum | No standard trial | Partner deals only | Through partner programs |
| MyFitnessPal | Yes | 7 days (Premium+) | In-app after download |
| MacroFactor | Yes | 7 days | In-app after download |
| Lose It | Yes | 7 days | In-app after download |
| YAZIO | Yes (website only) | 7 days | yazio.com only |
| Fastic | Pay + refund model | 14-day guarantee | In-app, request refund |
| Cal AI | Yes | 3 days | In-app after download |
| Cronometer | No trial | Free tier instead | Download app |
| NutriScan | Yes | 7 days | In-app after download |
A 2022 review of mHealth app engagement challenges found that "substantial participant dropout or attrition" is common across health apps, and free trials help users evaluate features before committing financially. Lifesum's partner-only model limits who gets this evaluation period.
NutriScan Alternative
If the lack of a Lifesum free trial is a dealbreaker, NutriScan offers a 7-day free trial through both app stores. The free plan includes unlimited AI meal scans, and the Refer and Earn program lets you earn free Premium time by inviting friends. Track your meals with NutriScan's meal scanner to see the difference.

FAQ
Can I get Lifesum Premium for free without any partner program?
No. As of March 2026, Lifesum does not offer a free trial through the App Store or Google Play. The only way to get free Premium access is through partner programs like Oscar Health, Wellhub, or Edenred. The free version of the app includes basic tracking but lacks meal plans, custom goals, and detailed nutrition data.
What happens after the 3-month Oscar Health trial ends?
Your subscription may auto-renew at the standard Lifesum Premium rate unless you cancel before the trial period expires. Lifesum requires cancellation at least 3 days before the renewal date. Cancel through your Apple Subscriptions (iPhone), Google Play Subscriptions (Android), or the Lifesum website depending on how you signed up.
Do Lifesum coupon codes actually give free months?
Most coupon codes on sites like SimplyCodes and WorthEPenny redirect to Lifesum's standard pricing page. The percentage-off claims typically refer to the annual plan's per-month savings versus buying shorter plans. True free-month codes are rare and usually tied to specific influencer or corporate partnerships.
Is the Lifesum free plan worth using instead?
The free plan includes basic food, exercise, and water tracking plus the barcode scanner. It does not include meal plans, custom calorie or macro targets, detailed nutrition breakdowns, recipes, or the Life Score feature. If you mainly need a basic food diary, the free plan works. If you want guided meal plans or macro tracking, you will need Premium.
How does Lifesum's free trial policy compare to NutriScan?
NutriScan offers a standard 7-day free trial through both the App Store and Google Play, with no partner program required. After the trial, you can continue with the free plan (which includes unlimited AI meal scans and NutriBites AI) or upgrade to Premium starting at $9.99 per month ($5.00/mo on annual). NutriScan also has a Refer and Earn program where each referral gives both users a free week of Premium.
Can I use a VPN to get cheaper Lifesum pricing?
Lifesum pricing varies by region. While VPN-based purchasing is technically possible through some app stores, it may violate Lifesum's Terms and Conditions and could result in account restrictions. Use the NutriScan macro calculator to check if you even need Lifesum's premium features before paying anything.
Final Verdict
Lifesum is a solid nutrition app, but its no-trial model makes it hard to test before committing $30+ for 3 months. If you qualify for Oscar Health, Wellhub, or Edenred, those are your best paths to free access. If not, consider whether the free plan covers your needs or whether a competitor with a standard trial is a better starting point.
If you want to start tracking meals today without jumping through partnership hoops, download NutriScan and get a 7-day free trial with AI-powered meal scanning, personalized macro goals, and NutriBites AI. No partner program required.
Prices and partner deals mentioned in this article are accurate as of March 2026 and may change. Always verify current pricing on the official Lifesum app or website before purchasing.
