# Eat vs Cofactor

The clearest difference is monetization model: Eat at free with in-app purchases against Cofactor's subscription. Eat also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and device support (3 vs 1). Cofactor's advantage is ratings volume (130 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Eat sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.00 per month and Cofactor sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Eat holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cofactor has 130 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Eat ships an update every 2 weeks, Cofactor every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
