Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Empty Fasting at 4.6 against Lollipop Scale's 3.4. Empty Fasting also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (83 vs 5). Lollipop Scale's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 83%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Empty Fasting holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Empty Fasting has 83 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Lollipop Scale's written reviews are positive against 83% of Empty Fasting's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Lollipop Scale ships an update every 6 weeks, Empty Fasting every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
