# DairyBar vs Solid Food Diary

The clearest difference is ads: DairyBar at none against Solid Food Diary's shown. DairyBar also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (466 vs 2). Solid Food Diary's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DairyBar sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Solid Food Diary sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Solid Food Diary holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DairyBar has 466 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of DairyBar's written reviews are positive against 56% of Solid Food Diary's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

DairyBar ships an update every 9 days, Solid Food Diary every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
