# ControlMyWeight vs TDEE Calculator

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ControlMyWeight at 69% against TDEE Calculator's 0%. ControlMyWeight also leads on rating (4.6 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (24K vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ControlMyWeight sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and TDEE Calculator sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
