ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Try Macro holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HealthyBox has 28 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of HealthyBox's written reviews are positive against 0% of Try Macro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

HealthyBox ships an update monthly, Try Macro every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 13, 2026.
