Your fasts are stored on your device, and we cannot read them. Available in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Portuguese. Holdfast is a timer, not medical advice. Talk to a doctor before changing how you eat.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Holdfast at none against Nutrio's shown. Nutrio's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
