# Gymverse vs EVOLUTION 3

The clearest difference is monetization model: Gymverse at free with in-app purchases against EVOLUTION 3's subscription. Gymverse also leads on ratings volume (165K vs 238) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). EVOLUTION 3's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gymverse sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 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 Gymverse against 4.7 for EVOLUTION 3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gymverse has 165K ratings behind it against 238, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 69% of Gymverse's written reviews are positive against 76% of EVOLUTION 3's.

Gymverse ships an update every 9 days, EVOLUTION 3 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
