# Weight Tracker vs Progress

The clearest difference is rating: Weight Tracker at 4.4 against Progress's 3.8. Weight Tracker also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (997 vs 13). Progress's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 64%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Weight Tracker sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Progress sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Weight Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weight Tracker has 997 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Weight Tracker's written reviews are positive against 75% of Progress's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
