# Flow Yoga vs Yoga for Beginners, Pilates+

The clearest difference is rating: Yoga for Beginners, Pilates+ at 4.8 against Flow Yoga's 4.0. Yoga for Beginners, Pilates+ also leads on ratings volume (1.7K vs 14). Flow Yoga's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flow Yoga sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Yoga for Beginners, Pilates+ sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Yoga for Beginners, Pilates+ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yoga for Beginners, Pilates+ has 1.7K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Flow Yoga's written reviews are positive against 63% of Yoga for Beginners, Pilates+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Flow Yoga ships an update every 3 weeks, Yoga for Beginners, Pilates+ fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on August 16, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
