Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Drink Tracker at free against Intake's freemium. Drink Tracker also leads on ratings volume (7 vs 1). Intake's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
