# FitShow vs Treadmill Workout

FitShow and Treadmill Workout both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 80% of Treadmill Workout's written reviews are positive against 42% of FitShow's. FitShow's advantage is ratings volume (5.7K vs 298) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FitShow sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Treadmill Workout sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for FitShow against 4.7 for Treadmill Workout. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FitShow has 5.7K ratings behind it against 298, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 42% of FitShow's written reviews are positive against 80% of Treadmill Workout's.

FitShow ships an update every 8 days, Treadmill Workout every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
