Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: BiteBit at free with in-app purchases against Calorie Tracker's subscription. BiteBit also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Calorie Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 1) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Calorie Tracker sells 48 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and BiteBit sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
BiteBit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Calorie Tracker has 1.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Calorie Tracker ships an update every 6 days, BiteBit every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
