# Food AI vs Microgram

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Microgram at 65% against Food AI's 0%. Microgram also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 4). Food AI's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Food AI sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Microgram sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Food AI holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Microgram has 1.1K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Food AI's written reviews are positive against 65% of Microgram's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
