Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Challenges at 4.6 against FITINDEX's 3.4. Challenges also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (5.7K vs 841). FITINDEX's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Challenges holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Challenges has 5.7K ratings behind it against 841, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Challenges's written reviews are positive against 54% of FITINDEX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Challenges ships an update every 3 weeks, FITINDEX every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
