# Eato® vs ProteinLog

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Eato® at 23K against ProteinLog's 1. Eato® also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). ProteinLog's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Eato® sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per 3 months and ProteinLog sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ProteinLog holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Eato® has 23K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Eato® ships an update every 9 days, ProteinLog weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
