Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Sweatpals at fortnightly against Family First AS's every 4 months. Sweatpals also leads on ratings volume (5K vs 10) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). Family First AS's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 83%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Sweatpals holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sweatpals has 5K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Family First AS's written reviews are positive against 83% of Sweatpals's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Family First AS ships an update every 4 months, Sweatpals fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
