# GymJoy vs Maxout Pro

The clearest difference is rating: Maxout Pro at 5.0 against GymJoy's 4.5. Maxout Pro also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 70%) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 17.0). GymJoy's advantage is ratings volume (40 vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GymJoy sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Maxout Pro sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Maxout Pro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GymJoy has 40 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 70% of GymJoy's written reviews are positive against 100% of Maxout Pro's.

GymJoy ships an update every 3 weeks, Maxout Pro monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
