Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fast Template Lite at none against Template Manager's 1. Fast Template Lite also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). Template Manager's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (63% vs 33%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Template Manager sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Fast Template Lite asks for nothing beyond the download.
Fast Template Lite holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Template Manager has 58 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Template Manager's written reviews are positive against 33% of Fast Template Lite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Template Manager ships an update every 5 months, Fast Template Lite every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
