# Swimmetry vs Video Coach Aquatics

The clearest difference is rating: Video Coach Aquatics at 5.0 against Swimmetry's 2.9. Video Coach Aquatics also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Swimmetry's advantage is review sentiment (25% vs 0%) and ratings volume (234 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Swimmetry sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Video Coach Aquatics sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $59.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Video Coach Aquatics holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Swimmetry has 234 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Swimmetry's written reviews are positive against 0% of Video Coach Aquatics's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Swimmetry ships an update fortnightly, Video Coach Aquatics every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and August 19, 2026 respectively.
