Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Calorie Counter + at freemium against Synopsis's subscription. Calorie Counter + also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 50%) and ratings volume (26K vs 408). Synopsis's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, 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 Synopsis sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $5.39 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Calorie Counter + against 4.7 for Synopsis. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Calorie Counter + has 26K ratings behind it against 408, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 78% of Calorie Counter +'s written reviews are positive against 50% of Synopsis's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Calorie Counter + ships an update fortnightly, Synopsis every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
