Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Calorie Counter + at freemium against QDQ's subscription. Calorie Counter + also leads on ratings volume (26K vs 6). QDQ's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 78%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Calorie Counter + sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and QDQ sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

QDQ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Calorie Counter + has 26K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of Calorie Counter +'s written reviews are positive against 100% of QDQ's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Calorie Counter + ships an update fortnightly, QDQ every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
