# ServingScore vs Proteinful

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.

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.
