Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Fasting Tracker at none against Tear Tales's shown. Fasting Tracker also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (9.1K vs 4). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Fasting Tracker sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Tear Tales sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fasting Tracker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fasting Tracker has 9.1K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Fasting Tracker's written reviews are positive against 100% of Tear Tales's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Fasting Tracker ships an update every 3 days, Tear Tales every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
