Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: FitHero at 86% against Workout Planner's 0%. FitHero also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 23 months) and ratings volume (186 vs 1). Workout Planner's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and device support (3 vs 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. FitHero sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Workout Planner sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Workout Planner holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FitHero has 186 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of FitHero's written reviews are positive against 0% of Workout Planner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
FitHero ships an update every 2 weeks, Workout Planner every 23 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
