# 16 vs LiteFast

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 16 at 100% against LiteFast's 20%. 16 also leads on ratings volume (4 vs 1). LiteFast's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 16 sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and LiteFast sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LiteFast holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 1 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of 16's written reviews are positive against 20% of LiteFast's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

16 ships an update every 6 weeks, LiteFast every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
