Verdict

The call

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.

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

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.
