# Microgram vs CleanEats

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.

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.

Microgram ships an update every 2 weeks, CleanEats every 10 days. Both last shipped on October 18, 2026.
