# Athletic.APP vs 3AK Sprinting

The clearest difference is rating: 3AK Sprinting at 4.9 against Athletic.APP's 3.7. 3AK Sprinting also leads on review sentiment (70% vs 29%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Athletic.APP's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and chart position there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Athletic.APP sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and 3AK Sprinting sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

3AK Sprinting holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 3AK Sprinting has 2.4K ratings behind it against 278, so its average is the more settled of the two.
