Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Fast at Free against Menu Bar's $0.99. Fast also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months). Menu Bar's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On review sentiment, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
