Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Chicken & Egg Tracker at free against FlockFriend's freemium. Chicken & Egg Tracker also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (25 vs 2). FlockFriend's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Chicken & Egg Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chicken & Egg Tracker has 25 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of FlockFriend's written reviews are positive against 75% of Chicken & Egg Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FlockFriend ships an update fortnightly, Chicken & Egg Tracker every 3 months. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
