# Carbon vs 60 Second Workouts

The clearest difference is update cadence: Carbon at weekly against 60 Second Workouts's every 2 months. Carbon also leads on ratings volume (8.1K vs 5) and chart position (#126 vs unranked). 60 Second Workouts's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 79%) and device support (3 vs 1).

Both are free to download. Carbon sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and 60 Second Workouts sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
