Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Bariatric Buddy at none against Bariatric Eating's shown. Bariatric Buddy also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). Bariatric Eating's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (231 vs 43). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bariatric Eating holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bariatric Eating has 231 ratings behind it against 43, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Bariatric Eating's written reviews are positive against 100% of Bariatric Buddy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
