Fatigue, bloating, brain fog, flushing, anxiety. If you've spent years dealing with symptoms like these without answers, you're not alone. Histamine Tracker surfaces patterns in your logged data, connecting what you ate hours earlier to how you feel later, so you can explore observations you might otherwise miss. SCAN FOOD WITH YOUR CAMERA Point your phone at any meal, menu, or ingredient label and instantly see its histamine level. No searching, no typing. Just snap and know what you're dealing with. TRACK YOUR WAY Log meals, symptoms, supplements, and activities naturally. Just type what you ate or how you feel. No tedious dropdowns or calorie counting. Turn on Period Tracking to log your period and see if your symptoms follow your cycle. DAILY FINDINGS THAT SURFACE PATTERNS After you log entries, the app automatically generates a personalized daily finding. It surfaces patterns in your own data, connecting meals logged hours earlier to symptoms you noticed later, and suggests observations worth exploring. 1,000+ FOODS RATED BY HISTAMINE LEVEL Browse a comprehensive food database organized by category. Every food is rated Low, Moderate, or High histamine so you can make more informed choices.

LOW-HISTAMINE MEAL IDEAS & ARTICLES Browse curated low-histamine meal ideas by category and read articles about managing histamine intolerance and feeling better day to day. BUILT BY SOMEONE WHO LIVES WITH HISTAMINE INTOLERANCE After years of struggling with histamine intolerance, insomnia, and chronic pain, I worked with nutritionists, therapists, and sleep specialists to understand how food, sleep, stress, and daily habits affect my symptoms. What I kept wishing for was a simple way to track everything together. So I built it. I use Histamine Tracker every day, and I hope it helps you too.

The Hormone Method is personalized hormonal wellness for women navigating cycles, perimenopause, hysterectomy, or menopause. It's built around your actual stage, not a one-size-fits-all program. The Hormone Method offers a 7-day free trial, then continues as an auto-renewing monthly subscription ($9.99/month). Your subscription unlocks daily check-ins for symptoms, energy, mood, sleep, and anxiety, plus guidance that shifts with where you really are — whether that's a cycle phase, surgical recovery, or life after menopause. You'll also get a personal AI coach available anytime, a full library covering nutrition, movement, breathwork, and mindfulness, and a history and patterns view that turns your daily logs into something useful for you and your next doctor's visit. There's also a section written specifically for your partner, so they understand what you're going through instead of guessing. Your data is never sold. That's structural, not just a policy. The Hormone Method is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Always consult your healthcare provider before making health changes.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: The Hormone Method at none against Histamine Tracker's shown. The Hormone Method also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Histamine Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (41 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Histamine Tracker sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and The Hormone Method sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
The Hormone Method holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Histamine Tracker has 41 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 96% of Histamine Tracker's written reviews are positive against 100% of The Hormone Method's.
