Rainfall's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (100% vs 89%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Intuitive Eating Buddy sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Rainfall sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
