# Sodium Tracker vs MyFoodData

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).

Both are free to download. Sodium Tracker sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and MyFoodData sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Sodium Tracker against 4.5 for MyFoodData. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sodium Tracker has 1.6K ratings behind it against 88, so its average is the more settled of the two.
