Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Health at 100% against MyVirginActive's 9%. Health also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 6 weeks). MyVirginActive's advantage is rating (3.9 vs 3.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement 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. Health sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. MyVirginActive asks for nothing beyond the download.
MyVirginActive holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyVirginActive has 38 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 9% of MyVirginActive's written reviews are positive against 100% of Health's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MyVirginActive ships an update every 6 weeks, Health every 11 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
