# Daily Fast vs Return

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Return at none against Daily Fast's 3. Return also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Daily Fast's advantage is ratings volume (3.5K vs 4). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Daily Fast sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Return asks for nothing beyond the download.

Return holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Daily Fast has 3.5K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Daily Fast ships an update every 5 months, Return every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
