# Happy Scale vs Intermittent Fasting Planner +

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Happy Scale at 91% against Intermittent Fasting Planner +'s 48%. Happy Scale also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.9 vs 4.5). Intermittent Fasting Planner +'s advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0).

Both are free to download. Happy Scale sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Intermittent Fasting Planner + sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
