# Volt vs Peak Strength

The clearest difference is monetization model: Volt at free with in-app purchases against Peak Strength's subscription. Volt also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (17K vs 1.5K). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Volt sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Peak Strength sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $39.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Volt against 4.8 for Peak Strength. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Volt has 17K ratings behind it against 1.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of Volt's written reviews are positive against 72% of Peak Strength's.

Volt ships an update every 5 days, Peak Strength every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
