Verdict

The call

Sodium Tracker and MyFoodData both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 63% of MyFoodData's written reviews are positive against 37% of Sodium Tracker's. MyFoodData also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). Sodium Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 88). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
