# Gym Diary vs FitPlot

The clearest difference is rating: FitPlot at 5.0 against Gym Diary's 4.3. Gym Diary's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (125 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model 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 and FitPlot sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

FitPlot holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gym Diary has 125 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Gym Diary ships an update every 3 weeks, FitPlot every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
