# Withings vs Modernmeal

The clearest difference is price: Withings at Free against Modernmeal's $9.99. Withings also leads on ratings volume (370K vs 2) and review sentiment (24% vs 0%). Modernmeal's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Withings is free to download; Modernmeal costs $9.99 up front. Withings sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Modernmeal sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Modernmeal holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Withings has 370K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of Withings's written reviews are positive against 0% of Modernmeal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Withings ships an update fortnightly, Modernmeal every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
