# iTotal vs Bites

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iTotal at none against Bites's 10. iTotal also leads on review sentiment (61% vs 43%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). Bites's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (2.2K vs 54). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bites sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. iTotal asks for nothing beyond the download.

Bites holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bites has 2.2K ratings behind it against 54, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of iTotal's written reviews are positive against 43% of Bites's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iTotal ships an update weekly, Bites fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
