# Gym Rest vs KTMconnect

The clearest difference is price: KTMconnect at Free against Gym Rest's $1.99. KTMconnect also leads on rating (1.9 vs 1.0) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 12 months). Gym Rest's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (33% vs 10%). On ads there is nothing between them.

KTMconnect is free to download; Gym Rest costs $1.99 up front. KTMconnect sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Gym Rest asks for nothing beyond the download.

KTMconnect holds the better App Store score, 1.9 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KTMconnect has 114 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Gym Rest's written reviews are positive against 10% of KTMconnect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Gym Rest ships an update every 12 months, KTMconnect every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
