# EatWise vs Meal Replacement Tracker

The clearest difference is rating: EatWise at 4.7 against Meal Replacement Tracker's 3.9. EatWise also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (6.8K vs 62). Meal Replacement Tracker's advantage is review sentiment (74% vs 61%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EatWise sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.39 per month and Meal Replacement Tracker sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

EatWise holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EatWise has 6.8K ratings behind it against 62, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of EatWise's written reviews are positive against 74% of Meal Replacement Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

EatWise ships an update every 2 weeks, Meal Replacement Tracker every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
