# Daily Fast vs Fast

Daily Fast and Fast both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 88% of Daily Fast's written reviews are positive against 75% of Fast's. Fast's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Daily Fast sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Fast sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Daily Fast against 4.7 for Fast. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3.5K and 3.3K respectively. Written reviews are what separate them: 88% of Daily Fast's written reviews are positive against 75% of Fast's.

Daily Fast ships an update every 5 months, Fast every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 16, 2026.
