# Fasting vs Intermittent Fasting

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Intermittent Fasting at 100% against Fasting's 50%. Intermittent Fasting also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.7) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Fasting's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fasting sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Intermittent Fasting sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Intermittent Fasting holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 11 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Fasting's written reviews are positive against 100% of Intermittent Fasting's.
