Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bite at none against Calorie Counter +'s 13. Bite also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 79%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Calorie Counter +'s advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (26K vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
