Earn XP. Build your streak. โข That's it. Really. FEATURES INCLUDED WITH YOUR SUBSCRIPTION โข Life Happens Shields โ Bank rest days that protect your streak when life gets in the way โข Comeback XP โ Missed a day? Come back and earn bonus XP.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Bare Minimum at none against FastFox's shown. Bare Minimum also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
