# IF vs Intermittent Fasting | Timer

The clearest difference is rating: IF at 4.8 against Intermittent Fasting | Timer's 2.0. IF also leads on ratings volume (2.7K vs 1) and device support (4 vs 1). Intermittent Fasting | Timer's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IF sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Intermittent Fasting | Timer sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

IF holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IF has 2.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

IF ships an update every 3 weeks, Intermittent Fasting | Timer monthly. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
