# Workout Programs vs Compound

The clearest difference is monetization model: Compound at freemium against Workout Programs's subscription. Compound also leads on device support. Workout Programs's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Workout Programs sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Compound sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 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 — 4.9 for Workout Programs against 5.0 for Compound. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Workout Programs has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
