# Fitbod vs EVOLUTION 3

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Fitbod at 289K against EVOLUTION 3's 244. Fitbod also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and chart position (#19 vs unranked). EVOLUTION 3's advantage is review sentiment (76% vs 62%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fitbod sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and EVOLUTION 3 sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Fitbod against 4.7 for EVOLUTION 3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fitbod has 289K ratings behind it against 244, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 62% of Fitbod's written reviews are positive against 76% of EVOLUTION 3's.

Fitbod ships an update weekly, EVOLUTION 3 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
