# SmartWOD Timer vs Gym Workout Log

The clearest difference is ads: Gym Workout Log at none against SmartWOD Timer's shown. Gym Workout Log also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 88%). SmartWOD Timer's advantage is ratings volume (54K vs 3) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SmartWOD Timer sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Gym Workout Log sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 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 SmartWOD Timer against 5.0 for Gym Workout Log. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SmartWOD Timer has 54K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 88% of SmartWOD Timer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Gym Workout Log's.

SmartWOD Timer ships an update every 10 days, Gym Workout Log every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
