# MacrosFirst vs REFORM Pilates

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: REFORM Pilates at none against MacrosFirst's 9. REFORM Pilates also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). MacrosFirst's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (24K vs 61). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MacrosFirst sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. REFORM Pilates asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for MacrosFirst against 5.0 for REFORM Pilates. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MacrosFirst has 24K ratings behind it against 61, so its average is the more settled of the two.

MacrosFirst ships an update every 5 days, REFORM Pilates every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 14, 2026 and November 13, 2026 respectively.
