Simple Protein is an easy way, the easiest way, to track your daily protein intake only. It doesn't track fat or carbs. Why? Because if you want to build muscles protein matters much more than fat or carbs. In tests lasting months, we've found better results by hyper-focusing on tracking protein ONLY while remaining smart and conscious about fat and carb intake. In other words: don't overdo the fat or carbs, keep it smart. But do get very focused on your protein intake. You'll likely see results too. Simple Protein is simply a simple protein tracker. DAILY LOG - track your grams of protein consumed each day. You can add days too if you have some historical data you want to put inside of Simple Protein. STATISTICS - See multiple metrics over a variety of time frames. It's a quick way to see if you are on track and hitting your daily protein target. TARGET - You can enter and edit your own daily protein target at any time. Or you can use our smart protein target calculator. It considers age, gender, height, weight, activity level, goal, and can use two different BMR formulas. You can also adjust the app for light or dark appearance, imperial or metric units, and turn Decimal Precision on or off. If you want to unlock ALL features, you can pay a simple, cheap, one-time purchase. If you don't mind the restrictions within the app, you can use it for free forever.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: EatWise at 5.0 against Simple Protein's 4.8. EatWise also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). Simple Protein's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Simple Protein sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and EatWise sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
EatWise holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple Protein has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
Simple Protein ships an update every 5 weeks, EatWise fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
