Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
KX Pilates holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 10 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of KX Pilates's written reviews are positive against 100% of THE YARD GYM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
KX Pilates ships an update every 5 weeks, THE YARD GYM every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
