# Gym Diary vs Gym Tracker!

The clearest difference is rating: Gym Diary at 4.3 against Gym Tracker!'s 3.2. Gym Diary also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (125 vs 12). Gym Tracker!'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and review sentiment (67% vs 54%). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gym Diary sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Gym Tracker! asks for nothing beyond the download.

Gym Diary holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gym Diary has 125 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Gym Diary's written reviews are positive against 67% of Gym Tracker!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Gym Diary ships an update every 3 weeks, Gym Tracker! fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
