# IF vs Fasting Tracker

The clearest difference is update cadence: Fasting Tracker at every 9 days against IF's every 2 months. Fasting Tracker also leads on ratings volume (8 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). IF's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IF sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Fasting Tracker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

IF holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fasting Tracker has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

IF ships an update every 2 months, Fasting Tracker every 9 days. Both last shipped on November 15, 2026.
