Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Microgram at 67% against CleanEats's 33%. CleanEats's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and ratings volume (5.6K vs 1.1K). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Microgram sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and CleanEats sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CleanEats holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CleanEats has 5.6K ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Microgram's written reviews are positive against 33% of CleanEats's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Microgram ships an update every 2 weeks, CleanEats every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
