MacroFlow is a privacy-first nutrition tracker with everything you need to track calories and macros. It's free to use with no subscriptions, no ads, no accounts, and no data tracking. Just fast, powerful nutrition tracking that respects your privacy. I built MacroFlow because I was frustrated with apps that lock essential features behind subscriptions.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: MacroFlow at none against CalFix's shown. MacroFlow also leads on device support (3 vs 1). CalFix's advantage is ratings volume (379 vs 29). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CalFix sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and MacroFlow sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for CalFix against 4.5 for MacroFlow. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CalFix has 379 ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 65% of CalFix's written reviews are positive against 70% of MacroFlow's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CalFix ships an update every 2 weeks, MacroFlow every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
