# IntakeAI vs Microgram

IntakeAI and Microgram both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of IntakeAI's written reviews are positive against 65% of Microgram's. IntakeAI also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Microgram's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 45). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IntakeAI sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Microgram sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for IntakeAI against 4.7 for Microgram. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Microgram has 1.1K ratings behind it against 45, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of IntakeAI's written reviews are positive against 65% of Microgram's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
