No, FastEasy is not free. The app is free to download, but every plan is an auto-renewing subscription. The US App Store lists prices from $9.99 to $59.99, and the cheapest full year is the $29.99 yearly plan if the app offers it to you. Prices checked September 2026.
TL;DR - FastEasy Pricing 2026
- Free tier: none. "Further use requires a subscription."
- App Store prices: $9.99 and $19.99 a month, $19.99 and $39.99 for 3 months, $29.99 and $59.99 a year
- Trial: offered at FastEasy's discretion; a low first period renews at the full price
- Web checkout: priced per day, 10-minute discount timer, managed at app.fasteasy.io
- Cancel: where you paid, at least 24 hours before renewal
- Refunds: Apple or Google for store purchases; web purchases only for technical faults or no results after 14 days of fasting
A 2025 network meta-analysis in the BMJ pooled 99 randomized trials with 6,582 adults and found that time-restricted eating, the 16:8 pattern FastEasy is built around, reduced body weight compared with eating freely but did no better than an ordinary calorie-restricted diet (Semnani-Azad et al., 2025). As a NutriScan nutritionist, I bring that up first because FastEasy charges for a fasting timer, and the value of that timer depends on whether the fasting schedule itself does anything a simple calorie target would not.
Everything below comes from FastEasy's own store listings, help center and legal pages as of September 2026: the ten App Store prices, the separate web checkout, how trials convert, and where to cancel and get a refund.

The quick answer: FastEasy has no free version
FastEasy is made by Welltech Apps Limited, a company registered in Limassol, Cyprus, that also publishes Muscle Booster, WalkFit, Yoga-Go and Omo. On the US App Store the app holds a 4.6 rating from about 79,000 ratings. On Google Play it shows 4.5 stars from about 56,000 reviews and more than 5 million downloads.
Both listings use the same sentence to describe the business model: "You can download the app for free. Further use requires a subscription." There is no free timer, no free tier with ads, no free trial promised to everyone. The Google Play listing adds that the company "may decide to offer you a free trial per the terms displayed in the app," and the word to notice is "may." Whether you see a trial, a discounted first month or a full-price plan depends on the offer the app decides to show you.
This is different from most fasting apps. Zero, Fastic, Simple and YAZIO all keep a usable free timer and charge for coaching, content or meal features on top. FastEasy locks the timer itself. If what you want is a free fasting timer, FastEasy is the wrong download, and our roundup of fasting apps with coaching lists several that keep the basics free.
FastEasy pricing on the App Store and Google Play
The US App Store listing publishes ten in-app purchases. They are the price points FastEasy uses for a handful of plans, not ten products.
| Listed in-app purchase | Price (USD) | Billing period | Effective monthly |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Month Premium | $9.99 | Monthly | $9.99 |
| 1 Month of FastEasy Premium (listed 3 times) | $19.99 | Monthly | $19.99 |
| 3 Month Premium | $19.99 | Every 3 months | $6.66 |
| 3 Month Premium | $39.99 | Every 3 months | $13.33 |
| 1 Year Premium | $29.99 | Yearly | $2.50 |
| 16:8 Intermittent Fasting Plan (listed twice) | $59.99 | Yearly | $5.00 |
Three things follow from that table. First, the same one-month plan exists at $9.99 and $19.99, and the same three-month plan at $19.99 and $39.99. The lower number in each pair is the introductory price and the higher is the regular price. FastEasy's help center confirms this pattern: "Auto-renewable subscription plans are offered with the trial offer. That means that you have a discount on your first subscription and afterward, the full price is to be charged for the new billing period" (FastEasy app FAQ, "Why am I charged different prices for my plan?").
Second, the cheapest way to hold FastEasy for a year is the $29.99 yearly plan, if you are shown it. Twelve months at the $19.99 regular monthly rate would cost $239.88. The gap between the best and worst way to buy the same app is about eight times.
Figure 1: The same app costs $29.99 or $239.88 for a year depending on which plan the paywall shows you. Zero Plus is included for scale.
Third, the $59.99 "16:8 Intermittent Fasting Plan" is a yearly subscription with a product name that sounds like a one-time course. It is not a course. The subscription terms are clear that every plan renews "at the end of each period (each week, month, 6 months, year, or otherwise) until you cancel" (FastEasy Subscription Terms, updated 20 July 2023).
Prices outside the US are set in local currency by Apple and Google and can be higher. The App Store description says you "pay the fixed price for your country, which is displayed in the app."
The face most one-star reviews describe: the second charge, at the regular price.
The web checkout is a separate product with separate rules
FastEasy runs a second sales channel that most app pricing guides miss. The website fasteasy.io hosts a quiz that ends in a checkout page where you pay by card, PayPal, Google Pay or Apple Pay. Purchases made there are managed in a "web cabinet" at app.fasteasy.io, not in your Apple or Google subscription list. FastEasy keeps two separate help centers for the two channels: support.fasteasy.life for app store purchases and support.fasteasy.io for web purchases.
The web FAQ explains the billing behaviors behind most complaints:
- Prices are shown per day. The article "I thought I could try an app for one day" says the checkout displays "how much the subscription costs for one day of use in your one-week, one-month, three-month, or one-year auto-renewable plan." You cannot buy one day. A price like $0.99 a day on the screen is a $6.93 weekly plan or a $29.70 monthly plan that renews.
- A 10-minute discount timer. The article "I got a sale but then it disappeared" explains that the checkout shows "a special offer to buy a subscription during a 10-minute window. Once that time had passed, the regular price is to be applied."
- Everything auto-renews. The web FAQ says the subscription "is auto-renewable by default" and that single-period purchases are not offered. The app FAQ says the same for store purchases: "Currently, we do not offer single-period purchase options."
- You cannot switch plans yourself. "How can I change my subscription period?" says switching is not possible, but support can "convert your current subscription to an annual plan at no additional cost beyond your current subscription rate." If you are paying monthly on the web and plan to stay, this is the one option that lowers your cost: ask support to convert the monthly price you already paid into a full year.
If you paid on the website, tap "I already have an account" on the app's first screen. Skip it and the app shows a paywall as if you had never paid; FastEasy's article on this is titled "I paid but the app is asking me to pay again".
What you get for the money
According to its store listings and help center, a subscription includes:
- Fasting plans: 14:10, 16:8, 18:6, 23:1 (OMAD), and custom windows
- A one-tap fasting timer with stage descriptions and reminders
- A water tracker
- Fasting and weight statistics with a calendar view
- A step counter that reads your phone's built-in activity data
- More than 300 recipes and meal plans, filtered by taste preferences
- Articles and tips on fasting and nutrition
- A PDF weekly plan sent by email after sign-up
- Export of weight and activity data to Apple Health
The help center is equally clear about what is missing. FastEasy does not connect to smartwatches (support article), has no other integrations (support article), has no desktop version, and cannot log activities or add steps manually. There is no food log, no barcode scanner and no calorie counting.
For a paid-only app, that is a thin feature set. Zero includes the timer, health integrations and a journal free of charge and asks $69.99 a year only for meal logging, as our Zero Plus pricing guide shows. FastEasy's paid tier competes with the free tier of its rivals.

Trial and introductory offers: how the charge happens
The App Store description spells out the mechanism: "Subscription automatically renews and your free trial automatically converts into a subscription unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period." Apple documents the same 24-hour rule in its own subscription support article. On Google Play, you may be charged up to 24 hours before a new period starts.
Two details make FastEasy's conversions harder to track:
- The trial is not a fixed public offer. Because the trial is offered "at our discretion," you cannot look up its length in advance. Screenshot the payment sheet or checkout page at the moment you buy. It states the trial length, the introductory price and the renewal price. That screenshot is also the only reliable evidence if you later dispute a charge.
- The introductory price is not the renewal price. A $9.99 first month renews at $19.99. A $19.99 first quarter renews at $39.99. Users on Trustpilot and Google Play describe exactly this: a small first charge, then a larger one they did not expect. The help center's answer is that the full price "is always included in the text on the payment screen before the subscription is confirmed" (support article). That is true, and it is also small print on a screen with a countdown timer.
The first price is not the price you keep paying
A $9.99 first month renews at $19.99, and a $19.99 first quarter renews at $39.99. Read the renewal line on the payment sheet, not the headline number.

How to cancel FastEasy
Where you cancel depends entirely on where you paid. Canceling in the wrong place does nothing.
App Store (iPhone or iPad): Open Settings, tap your name, tap Subscriptions, select FastEasy, tap Cancel Subscription. If you do not see a Cancel button, the subscription is already canceled. FastEasy's help center says the company cannot do this for you: "we don't have access to your account and are not authorized to manage subscription cancellations or changes" (support article).
Google Play (Android): Open the Play Store app, tap your profile icon, go to Payments and subscriptions, then Subscriptions, select FastEasy and tap Cancel subscription.
Web purchase (fasteasy.io): Go to app.fasteasy.io, log in with the email and password you created at checkout, open Account Settings, tap Subscription, and cancel from the list of active subscriptions. The alternative is the Welltech contact form. FastEasy's article on this is "How can I cancel the subscription?", and it repeats the 24-hour rule: cancel at least 24 hours before the next billing cycle begins.
In every case, canceling stops the renewal but does not refund the current period, and your access continues until the period ends. Deleting the app does nothing to the subscription. To confirm the cancellation worked, reopen the subscription list you used and check that FastEasy shows an expiry date rather than a renewal date. A BBB reviewer reported being billed on the end date printed on her receipt rather than the day after, so treat the renewal date as a deadline that arrives a day early.
Cancel the same day you subscribe
Access runs to the end of the paid period whether you cancel on day 1 or day 29. Canceling right away is the only way to be sure no regular-price renewal follows.
Canceling in the right place is half the job. Checking that it stuck is the other half.
Refund rules: two channels, two policies
FastEasy splits refunds the same way it splits cancellations.
| Where you paid | Who decides | Window | How |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apple App Store | Apple only | Apple's discretion | reportaproblem.apple.com or Apple's refund request page |
| Google Play | Google only | Google's policy | Google Play refund request |
| fasteasy.io website | FastEasy | 30 days, two eligible cases | Welltech contact form, 3-5 business days |
For store purchases, the subscription terms say: "We as the App Developer do not provide refunds or facilitate chargebacks." Emailing FastEasy about an App Store charge gets you a redirect to Apple.
For web purchases, the FastEasy Refund Policy, last updated 16 November 2021, starts from the position that "the Purchase is final" and then lists two exceptions, both inside 30 days of the purchase or the last renewal:
- (A) Technical issues. The app crashes, fails to launch or has buttons that do not work, so that "your use of the Purchase is rendered impossible." You may be asked for your device model, OS version, the steps you take and a screen recording.
- (B) No visible results. You followed the personalized fasting plan for at least 14 consecutive days with a minimum 12-hour fasting window, you can prove it with screenshots of your fasting history, and you contacted support within 30 days. On a one-week plan, the requirement is 7 daily fasting sessions in 7 consecutive days.
Two more clauses matter. FastEasy "reserve[s] the right to charge a fee to cover the cost of any administrative or other expenses" on a refund. And EU customers are told their 14-day right of withdrawal is lost "once our servers validate your Purchase," because the content is treated as delivered immediately. Whether that waiver holds up under your national consumer law is a question for your consumer authority, not for FastEasy's support team.
The web FAQ summarizes the policy as "a money-back guarantee regulated by specific conditions" and promises a decision within 3-5 business days (support article). Approved refunds are issued within 2 business days and can take up to 5 to reach your card. Compare that with the rules in our fasting app refund guide, where Fastic offers a 14-day guarantee with fewer conditions.
What users report about billing
FastEasy's store ratings are good. Its ratings off the stores are not, and the gap is almost entirely about money.
On Trustpilot, FastEasy holds a TrustScore of 2.5 out of 5 from about 3,390 reviews. The distribution is split: 41 percent five-star and 39 percent one-star. The one-star reviews repeat the same three events. A trial or introductory period converted to a charge the reviewer did not expect. A cancellation in one place did not stop a subscription that lived in another. A refund request was declined under the "purchase is final" rule. The company replies to most of these with a request to email [email protected] with the subject line "TP review."
The Better Business Bureau opened a file on FastEasy.io on 11 March 2024. The business is not BBB accredited, and the listed reviews describe being billed after canceling and being unable to stop renewals.
Every rule in this guide is on FastEasy's own pages. The design still puts the work on you: convert the per-day price, find the renewal price, cancel in the right place, ask the right party for a refund.
What the research says about paying for a fasting timer
FastEasy sells one thing: a schedule for when to eat, with reminders and content that keep you on it. The evidence for that schedule is consistent and modest.
The BMJ network meta-analysis above found that time-restricted eating produced weight loss compared with unrestricted eating but not compared with a conventional calorie-restricted diet, and that alternate-day fasting was the only fasting pattern with a small extra benefit, about 1.3 kg over continuous restriction (Semnani-Azad et al., 2025). A 12-month randomized trial of 139 adults with obesity in the New England Journal of Medicine compared calorie restriction alone with calorie restriction plus an 8-hour eating window and found no significant difference: 8.0 kg lost with the window versus 6.3 kg without (Liu et al., 2022). A 2024 trial in Annals of Internal Medicine held calories equal in both arms and found that a 10-hour window produced 2.3 kg of loss versus 2.6 kg for a usual eating pattern, which points to calories, not the clock, as the active ingredient (Maruthur et al., 2024).
The trial that most favors a window is one FastEasy's early-eating plans resemble. In a 14-week study of 90 adults with obesity, an eating window that closed by 3 p.m. produced 2.3 kg more weight loss than a window of 12 hours or more, equivalent to about 214 fewer calories a day, along with better diastolic blood pressure and mood (Jamshed et al., 2022).
On apps specifically, a 2025 meta-analysis of 11 randomized trials with 1,717 adults found that smartphone-only weight-loss apps produce a small but real reduction in body weight compared with no app (Pujia et al., 2025). The apps in those trials tracked food or activity. None of them was a fasting timer alone.
Put together: fasting works when it lowers what you eat, a timer helps some people hold a window, and a phone clock does that for nothing. The case for paying FastEasy rests on its recipes and content.

Who FastEasy makes sense for
FastEasy is a reasonable buy at the $29.99 yearly price if you were shown that offer, you want a guided fasting schedule with recipes in one place, you will cancel in the right channel when you are done, and you do not need a food log, a watch app or any integrations beyond Apple Health export.
It is a poor buy at $19.99 a month, the regular price for the one-month plan. At that rate a year of FastEasy costs $239.88, more than three times Zero Plus at $69.99, and Zero's free tier already includes the timer. It is also the wrong pick if you want to try fasting before paying anything.
For a timer plus a food log, see the pricing posts for Fastic, YAZIO, BodyFast, whose timer and standard plans stay free, and Simple, or our Fastic vs Simple comparison covers the two most common beginner picks.
2 tips before you pay for FastEasy
- Let the 10-minute timer run out once. The regular price appears when it does. Decide on the regular price, because that is what you will pay from the second period onward.
- Buy through the app store, not the website, if you can. Store subscriptions appear in your Apple or Google subscription list, where you can cancel in three taps and where the refund path is Apple or Google rather than a "purchase is final" policy. If you already paid on the web, ask support to convert your plan to annual.
How to try FastEasy without an unexpected charge: 5 steps
- Decide whether you need a paid timer at all. Set a 16:8 window with your phone's clock app for two weeks. If you keep it without the app, the FastEasy subscription buys you recipes and articles, nothing else.
- Download from the app store and finish onboarding. Note whether the paywall shows a trial, an introductory price or a full price.
- Choose the shortest plan at the lowest price shown. The $59.99 "16:8 plan" is a full year, not a course.
- Cancel the same day in Settings or Google Play. You keep access until the period ends, and nothing renews.
- Set a reminder for the expiry date. If a new charge appears anyway, request a refund from Apple or Google that day, with your screenshot.

Where NutriScan fits
FastEasy puts a fasting timer behind a paywall and stops there. NutriScan starts from the meal with AI meal scan: 5 AI photo scans a week on the free plan, unlimited on Premium at about $59 a year, returning calories, protein, carbs and fat for mixed plates, with a fasting timer alongside. If the research above convinced you that what you eat inside the window matters more than the window, NutriScan's pricing post lays out the free and paid tiers on the same terms as this one.
Home > Fasting tab: pick a fasting plan. The timer is part of the free app.
