# Zen Fast vs Fast

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Zen Fast at none against Fast's 8. Zen Fast also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.6). Fast's advantage is ratings volume (3.3K vs 4) and device support. On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fast sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Zen Fast asks for nothing beyond the download.

Zen Fast holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fast has 3.3K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
