Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Easy Calorie at none against ControlMyWeight's shown. Easy Calorie also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks). ControlMyWeight's advantage is ratings volume (24K vs 215). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. ControlMyWeight sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and Easy Calorie sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for ControlMyWeight against 4.6 for Easy Calorie. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ControlMyWeight has 24K ratings behind it against 215, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 69% of ControlMyWeight's written reviews are positive against 67% of Easy Calorie's.
ControlMyWeight ships an update every 6 weeks, Easy Calorie every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
