# Bearable vs Strath Sport

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Strath Sport at none against Bearable's 13. Strath Sport also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Bearable's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (6.6K vs 2). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bearable sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per month. Strath Sport asks for nothing beyond the download.

Strath Sport holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bearable has 6.6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Bearable's written reviews are positive against 67% of Strath Sport's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Bearable ships an update weekly, Strath Sport every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
