# Gymverse vs Programme

The clearest difference is rating: Gymverse at 4.8 against Programme's 3.6. Gymverse also leads on ratings volume (165K vs 11) and chart position (#35 vs unranked). Programme's advantage is review sentiment (88% vs 69%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gymverse sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Programme sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Gymverse holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gymverse has 165K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Gymverse's written reviews are positive against 88% of Programme's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Gymverse ships an update every 9 days, Programme every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
