Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Proteinful at 5.0 against ServingScore's 4.3. ServingScore's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Proteinful sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per year. ServingScore asks for nothing beyond the download.
Proteinful holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 12 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of ServingScore's written reviews are positive against 75% of Proteinful's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ServingScore ships an update every 8 days, Proteinful fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
