# DoFasting Intermittent Fasting vs The Approach

The clearest difference is review sentiment: The Approach at 85% against DoFasting Intermittent Fasting's 39%. The Approach also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.9). DoFasting Intermittent Fasting's advantage is ratings volume (4.8K vs 69) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DoFasting Intermittent Fasting sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $32.99 per 3 months and The Approach sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

The Approach holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DoFasting Intermittent Fasting has 4.8K ratings behind it against 69, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 39% of DoFasting Intermittent Fasting's written reviews are positive against 85% of The Approach's.
