Verdict

The call

Buddyfit and Acquea both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 72% of Acquea's written reviews are positive against 25% of Buddyfit's. Acquea also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 9) and ads (none vs shown). Buddyfit's advantage is ratings volume (110 vs 26). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Buddyfit holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 110 and 26 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Buddyfit's written reviews are positive against 72% of Acquea's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Buddyfit ships an update every 11 days, Acquea every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
