# Lively vs Forme Fasting Timer

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lively at 52% against Forme Fasting Timer's 0%. Lively also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (51K vs 1). Forme Fasting Timer's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lively sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Forme Fasting Timer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Forme Fasting Timer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lively has 51K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Lively's written reviews are positive against 0% of Forme Fasting Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Lively ships an update weekly, Forme Fasting Timer every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
