# Vitamin vs Microgram

The clearest difference is rating: Microgram at 4.7 against Vitamin's 4.1. Microgram also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 91). Vitamin's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Vitamin sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Microgram sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Microgram holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Microgram has 1.1K ratings behind it against 91, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of Vitamin's written reviews are positive against 65% of Microgram's.

Vitamin ships an update every 3 months, Microgram every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
