# GetCourse vs Loften

The clearest difference is monetization model: GetCourse at free with in-app purchases against Loften's subscription. GetCourse also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 16.0). Loften's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GetCourse sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Loften sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for GetCourse against 5.0 for Loften. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GetCourse has 13K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

GetCourse ships an update every 6 weeks, Loften every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
