What did you eat before you felt bad? Reflux Diary is built to answer that one question. Log your meals. Log your symptoms. Both land on one timeline, so you can see which foods you ate before your symptoms. This is not a calorie counter. There are no streaks to protect and no lectures about what you should have eaten. It is a record of what you ate and how you felt. HOW IT WORKS 1. Log the meal. Type it in, or use the camera to read a menu, a dish, a barcode or a food label. Menu, dish and food-label scanning is a Pro feature. Barcode scanning is free with an account. 2. Log the symptom when it starts, and set how strong it was. 3. Watch the food settle. After a few meals with the same food, it moves into a band like Safe, Limit or Avoid. Until there is enough to say, it stays in Tracking. You can overrule any band yourself, and withdraw the overrule later. The diary is yours, and so is the last word. WHAT YOU GET - A day timeline of meals, symptoms and digestion windows - A band for every food you eat often enough - Menu, dish and food-label scanning with Pro, and barcode scanning free - Weekly highlights and a symptom history grid - A dietary profile, checked against the dishes you scan. It flags what a dish may contain, and is not an allergen analysis - No ads and no third-party analytics WHAT IT COSTS Free: log meals and symptoms by hand, scan barcodes, keep your full timeline, and see results for your first 100 tracked foods. A food counts once per cooking method. Scanning needs a free account. Reflux Diary Pro adds AI scanning of menus, dishes and food labels. Pro also removes the 100-food limit, so every food you log can earn a band, and lets you merge duplicate foods. Pro is an auto-renewing subscription with weekly, monthly and yearly options. It renews until you cancel it. Cancel any time in your Apple account settings. Reflux Diary Lifetime is a one-time purchase. It removes the 100-food limit and unlocks merging, the same as Pro. For scanning you use your own AI provider key, or run menu and food-label scans on your iPhone where the hardware supports it. ABOUT THE SCAN AND AI Menu, dish and food-label scans use AI. Your photo and related food details may be sent to an AI company we work with, such as Google or OpenAI. The app names the provider and asks for your permission first. Scanning is optional. Barcode scanning uses no AI. The code is read on your device and looked up in the Open Food Facts database. BEFORE YOU START Reflux Diary is a personal diary for general wellness, not a medical device and not a substitute for professional care. Talk to your doctor about your symptoms.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Reflux Diary at freemium against NoBurn's subscription. Reflux Diary also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). NoBurn's advantage is ratings volume (282 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support 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. NoBurn sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Reflux Diary sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Reflux Diary holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NoBurn has 282 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
