Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: My Fasting Timer at Free against iFast's $2.99. My Fasting Timer also leads on ratings volume (9 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). iFast's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
