Both are free to download. UP Transform sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and AI Calorie & Macro Tracker sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

AI Calorie & Macro Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AI Calorie & Macro Tracker has 798 ratings behind it against 46, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of UP Transform's written reviews are positive against 71% of AI Calorie & Macro Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

UP Transform ships an update every 10 days, AI Calorie & Macro Tracker every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
