# FODMAP & Allergy vs ScanGredients

The clearest difference is ads: ScanGredients at none against FODMAP & Allergy's shown. ScanGredients also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 88%). FODMAP & Allergy's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (204 vs 13). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FODMAP & Allergy sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and ScanGredients sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

FODMAP & Allergy holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FODMAP & Allergy has 204 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of FODMAP & Allergy's written reviews are positive against 100% of ScanGredients's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

FODMAP & Allergy ships an update every 4 days, ScanGredients every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
