# Fast vs Fasting Tracker

The clearest difference is ads: Fast at none against Fasting Tracker's shown. Fast also leads on ratings volume (3.3K vs 22). Fasting Tracker's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fast sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Fasting Tracker sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Fast against 4.8 for Fasting Tracker. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fast has 3.3K ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of Fast's written reviews are positive against 100% of Fasting Tracker's.

Fast ships an update every 2 months, Fasting Tracker every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
