# FitShow vs WalkingPad+

The clearest difference is rating: FitShow at 4.8 against WalkingPad+'s 4.1. FitShow also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FitShow sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and WalkingPad+ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

FitShow holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FitShow has 5.4K ratings behind it against 267, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 42% of FitShow's written reviews are positive against 11% of WalkingPad+'s.

FitShow ships an update every 8 days, WalkingPad+ every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
