# PitPat vs Treadmill Workout

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Treadmill Workout at 80% against PitPat's 28%. Treadmill Workout also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (292 vs 11). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PitPat sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Treadmill Workout sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
