# Hevy vs M2 COACHING

The clearest difference is monetization model: Hevy at freemium against M2 COACHING's subscription. Hevy also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (103K vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hevy sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and M2 COACHING sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $99.99 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 Hevy against 5.0 for M2 COACHING. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hevy has 103K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 98% of Hevy's written reviews are positive against 100% of M2 COACHING's.

Hevy ships an update weekly, M2 COACHING every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
