DASH stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. The main goal of the diet is to prevent and lower high blood pressure, although there are some other beneficial "side-effects" such as weight loss. It is a heart health recommended diet and the best for high blood pressure along with healthy weight loss. The DASH diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products, whole grains, fish, poultry, beans, seeds, and nuts. It also contains less salt and sodium; sweets, added sugars, and sugar-containing beverages; fats; and red meats than the typical American diet. This heart healthy way of eating is also lower in saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol and rich in nutrients that are associated with lowering blood pressure—mainly potassium, magnesium, and calcium, protein, and fiber. The DASH eating plan doesn't require any special foods or supplements like a lot of homeopathic diets. It simply calls for a certain number of daily servings from various food groups. The number of servings depends on the number of calories you’re allowed each day. Your calorie level depends on your age and, especially, how active you are. You will also limit your sodium levels to either 2300mg or 1500mg each day. The less salt you eat, the more you may be able to lower your blood pressure.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: My Dash Diet at Free against DashDietTracker's $0.99. My Dash Diet also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 62). DashDietTracker's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and ads (none vs shown). On rating and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

My Dash Diet holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Dash Diet has 1.9K ratings behind it against 62, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of My Dash Diet's written reviews are positive against 60% of DashDietTracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

My Dash Diet ships an update weekly, DashDietTracker every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
