Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fasting Timer at none against Nomu's 6. Fasting Timer also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 85%). Nomu's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, ads and monetization model 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. Nomu sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Fasting Timer asks for nothing beyond the download.
Nomu holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nomu has 89 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Nomu's written reviews are positive against 100% of Fasting Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Nomu ships an update every 5 days, Fasting Timer every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 7, 2026 respectively.
