Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: iFIT Workouts at 74K against Workout Planner's 2.7K. iFIT Workouts also leads on chart position (#37 vs unranked). Workout Planner's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Workout Planner sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and iFIT Workouts sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Workout Planner against 4.7 for iFIT Workouts.

Written reviews are what separate them: 46% of Workout Planner's written reviews are positive against 51% of iFIT Workouts's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Workout Planner ships an update every 2 weeks, iFIT Workouts every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
