Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Milo at 4.8 against Bread's 4.4. Milo also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 70) and chart position (#54 vs unranked). Bread's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bread sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Milo sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Milo holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Milo has 1.6K ratings behind it against 70, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Bread's written reviews are positive against 43% of Milo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Bread ships an update fortnightly, Milo every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
