Kompanion App Review UK (2026)
A fasting tracker with ketosis monitoring - mixed reviews on value and subscription practices
What is Kompanion?
Kompanion positions itself as "the ultimate fasting tracker" - helping users follow intermittent fasting protocols like 16:8. It focuses on when you eat rather than what you eat, with visual feedback on your body's metabolic state.
The app tracks estimated biological stages during fasting: when you enter ketosis, when autophagy may begin, and when insulin levels decline.
What Kompanion Offers
- Fasting Timer: Track fasting windows for various protocols
- Ketosis Tracking: Estimates when you enter ketosis
- Autophagy Indicator: Shows when cellular cleanup may begin
- Body Stage Tracking: Visual feedback on metabolic state
- Fasting History: Track your progress over time
- Reminders: Notifications for eating windows
Kompanion Pricing
- Free Version: Limited features
- Premium Monthly: Around $9.99/month (~£8)
- Premium Annual: Around $49.99/year (~£40)
Pricing may vary based on promotions. Some users report confusion about what's included free versus premium.
How It Works
Kompanion focuses on the timing aspect of intermittent fasting:
- Set your fasting protocol (16:8, 18:6, etc.)
- Start your fast when you finish eating
- Watch the timer count through metabolic stages
- Get notified when your eating window begins
- Track your fasting history and streaks
The body stage indicators (ketosis, autophagy) are estimates based on typical fasting timelines, not actual measurements.

The Bottom Line
Kompanion is a straightforward fasting timer with visual indicators for ketosis and autophagy stages. For users who just want to track fasting windows without complicated features, it delivers that simply.
However, the lack of Trustpilot presence and App Store complaints about subscriptions are concerning. The app also doesn't track what you eat - only when - which limits its usefulness for comprehensive health tracking.
If you want a basic fasting timer, Kompanion works. But be extremely careful with any trial or subscription - note exactly how to cancel and monitor your payment methods. Free alternatives like Zero may offer similar functionality with fewer billing concerns.
Our verdict: Basic fasting timer. Subscription caution needed. Consider free alternatives.
