# Fasting Tracker vs Bean

The clearest difference is ads: Fasting Tracker at none against Bean's shown. Fasting Tracker also leads on ratings volume (9.1K vs 6) and device support (4 vs 2). Bean's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 3 days). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Fasting Tracker against 5.0 for Bean. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fasting Tracker has 9.1K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 93% of Fasting Tracker's written reviews are positive against 100% of Bean's.

Fasting Tracker ships an update every 3 days, Bean daily. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
