Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: ChowTracker at 862 against Calori's 15. Calori's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. ChowTracker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Calori sells 5 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 — 4.7 for ChowTracker against 4.6 for Calori. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ChowTracker has 862 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two.
ChowTracker ships an update fortnightly, Calori weekly. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
