Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fasty at none against Sunrise's 2. Fasty also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 87%). Sunrise's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 16 months) and ratings volume (9.7K vs 7). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
