Is there a free version of the Monash FODMAP app?

No. The Monash app is a one-off £7.99 on the UK App Store. FODMAP Friendly and Low FODMAP diet A to Z are free to download.

Do I need an app to do low FODMAP?

No, but a food reference helps, and a dietitian helps most. The NHS route to a dietitian is through your GP.

Monash FODMAP app alternatives, and when to keep Monash

Updated 29 October 2026

For FODMAP food ratings, Monash University's app is the reference, because Monash developed the diet. Free alternatives include FODMAP Friendly, from a certification body with lab-tested foods, and Low FODMAP diet A to Z, a simple food list. FODMAP Snap adds trigger-finding. Ojafi is not a FODMAP app; it is the diary that shows which foods agree with you.

Why Monash is still the reference

Monash University developed the low FODMAP diet and tests foods for it. The Monash guidance is to follow the diet with a dietitian who specialises in IBS, in three steps: swap, test, then build your own version. If you are doing the diet properly, the Monash app is worth its one-off price.

FODMAP Friendly

From FODMAP Friendly, a certification body. Its list gives lab-tested foods a pass or fail against its own threshold, and it is written for people with IBS and for health professionals. Free to download.

Low FODMAP diet A to Z

A straightforward food list with FODMAP ratings, designed by somebody with IBS. The most-rated of these apps on the UK App Store.

FODMAP Snap

Goes beyond a list: you log meals and how your gut reacts, and it learns which foods are behind your symptoms.

Ojafi

Ojafi is our app, so weigh this accordingly. It is a food journal built to be read: you log meals and how they sat, and the iPhone app, in review now, looks for the foods and meal times that keep coming before a bad day, including the foods that turned out fine. It never puts anybody on an elimination diet. The journal works in your browser today, free to start. Use it alongside a FODMAP reference, not instead of one.
