# SHRED Guided Strength Training vs Caliber

The clearest difference is ads: Caliber at none against SHRED Guided Strength Training's shown. Caliber also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 66%) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). SHRED Guided Strength Training's advantage is ratings volume (40K vs 6.2K). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SHRED Guided Strength Training sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Caliber sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.00 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 — 4.8 for SHRED Guided Strength Training against 4.8 for Caliber. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SHRED Guided Strength Training has 40K ratings behind it against 6.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 66% of SHRED Guided Strength Training's written reviews are positive against 78% of Caliber's.
