Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Therabody at 4.7 against Ergatta's 4.1. Therabody also leads on ratings volume (7.8K vs 80). Ergatta's advantage is review sentiment (58% vs 35%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Therabody holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Therabody has 7.8K ratings behind it against 80, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Therabody's written reviews are positive against 58% of Ergatta's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Therabody ships an update every 5 weeks, Ergatta monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
