At this point, you may have a plan or are confused because you have received too much advice from family and friends with different opinions. Introducing solid foods is one of the most exciting (if messy) milestones of your baby's first year.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BLW Diary at 5.0 against BLW Meals's 3.5. BLW Diary also leads on ads (none vs shown). BLW Meals's advantage is review sentiment (98% vs 70%) and ratings volume (13 vs 4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model 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. BLW Meals sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and BLW Diary sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
BLW Diary holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 13 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 98% of BLW Meals's written reviews are positive against 70% of BLW Diary's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
