ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

beano holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Caffeine Tracker has 41 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Caffeine Tracker's written reviews are positive against 75% of beano's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Caffeine Tracker ships an update every 5 days, beano every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
