# MyCaffeine vs Simple Calorie Tracker

The clearest difference is rating: Simple Calorie Tracker at 5.0 against MyCaffeine's 3.6. Simple Calorie Tracker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 11 days). MyCaffeine's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MyCaffeine sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Simple Calorie Tracker sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Simple Calorie Tracker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyCaffeine has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

MyCaffeine ships an update every 11 days, Simple Calorie Tracker every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
