# Calorie Plan vs Gut Check

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Gut Check at 100% against Calorie Plan's 15%. Gut Check also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 31 months). Calorie Plan's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Calorie Plan sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 6 months and Gut Check sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Calorie Plan holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of Calorie Plan's written reviews are positive against 100% of Gut Check's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Calorie Plan ships an update every 31 months, Gut Check every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
