Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: FocusedFasting at free against FastingCat's free with in-app purchases. FastingCat's advantage is ratings volume (55 vs 8). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. FastingCat sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and FocusedFasting sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for FastingCat against 5.0 for FocusedFasting. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FastingCat has 55 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
FastingCat ships an update every 6 days, FocusedFasting weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
