Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: SOLE+ at every 5 days against JRNY®'s every 2 months. SOLE+ also leads on iOS requirement (16.2 vs 18.0). JRNY®'s advantage is ratings volume (21K vs 3K) and review sentiment (24% vs 15%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. JRNY® sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and SOLE+ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for JRNY® against 4.5 for SOLE+. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JRNY® has 21K ratings behind it against 3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 24% of JRNY®'s written reviews are positive against 15% of SOLE+'s.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

JRNY® ships an update every 2 months, SOLE+ every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
